Cambridge Mechatronics Limited (CML) is a multidisciplinary engineering company developing industry-leading precision motion solutions for use across a variety of markets, including smartphones, AR/VR, wearables and many more.
We specialise in designing compact actuators that utilise shape memory alloy (SMA) materials. We are the only company in the world to master the precise control of SMA materials and we have developed and patented a variety of SMA-based actuators to control, move and position objects with exceptional accuracy.
We protect our intellectual property, primarily via patenting our inventions, and licence our technology and IP to our manufacturing partners. Our SMA platform technologies comprise mechanical designs, electronics, control circuitry and software. Thats why our team of engineers, technicians and scientists hail from a variety of different technical backgrounds, and many have degrees from world-class universities or considerable relevant experience in industry.
CML actuators use SMA wires as single-piece motors that are thinner than human hair, and are able to reliably control their movement with sub-micron accuracy. Our SMA-based actuators can be used to provide auto-focus and optical image stabilisation in cameras, more accurate 3D-sensing, haptic devices, drug delivery devices and surgical instruments.
CML has established a network of strategic relationships with the world’s leading technology manufacturers. Tens of millions of SMA products based on CML IP have shipped inside major brand-name devices
