Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
Every aerospace component — from brackets to propulsion hardware — must be cut, shaped, and finished to exacting standards the first time.
With extensive experience in aerospace and defense machining, Roberson Machine Company delivers precision CNC parts for every phase of production. We regularly produce components such as:
- Structural brackets and supports, including roller-lift system components
- Avionics enclosures and mounts
- Hydraulic and fuel system housings
- Engine and propulsion system components
- Satellite and space hardware
- Flight control assemblies
Every part comes with its own set of challenges — from complex geometry to challenging materials to strict inspection requirements. Our machining capabilities are built to handle the demands of aerospace manufacturing at every stage of production.
CNC Machining Services for Aerospace Manufacturing
We leverage cutting-edge CNC technology in our aerospace manufacturing services to deliver the accuracy and consistency demanded by critical flight components. From early development to large production batches, we’ve got you covered.
5-Axis CNC Milling
Equipped with 5-axis milling technology, we machine complex aerospace geometries in a single setup to improve accuracy and shorten cycle times. Ideal for structural components, housings, brackets, and aerodynamic surfaces with compound angles.
Multi-Axis CNC Turning
Our multi-axis lathes manufacture high-precision shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational parts, ensuring tight concentricity and roundness. They handle simple to complex aerospace turning in one pass.
Wire EDM Machining
Wire EDM is known for burr-free, highly accurate cutting of detailed aerospace geometries and sensitive alloys, ideal for fuel systems, small engine parts, and finely-toleranced aerospace components.
Prototype Machining
With rapid-turn prototype machining, we assist aerospace customers in development, qualification, and testing by enabling engineers to evaluate form, fit, and function ahead of production.
Precision CNC Machining
Throughout all services, we apply strict process controls to maintain dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and surface finishes that meet or exceed aerospace industry standards. Every part is inspected and documented to customer requirements.
Count on us to provide aerospace manufacturing solutions that prioritize safety, precision, and durability. Our rigorous process controls and inspection protocols safeguard your project’s outcome.
Aerospace Materials We Machine
Aerospace components often require advanced materials that balance strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. Roberson Machine Company routinely works with the metals, alloys, and high-performance materials used throughout aerospace manufacturing — delivering clean, precise results even on difficult-to-machine substrates.
- Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050): Favored for its corrosion resistance and light weight, aluminum is ideal for airframe components, housings, and structural assemblies. We employ advanced aluminum CNC machining to produce complex aerospace parts with exacting standards.
- Titanium (Grades 2, 5 / 6Al-4V): Lightweight, robust, and corrosion-resistant, titanium is commonly used in aerospace for fasteners and structural components demanding an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Our precise titanium CNC machining processes meet stringent aerospace standards.
- Stainless Steel (17-4PH, 15-5PH, 303, 316, 321): Known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and strength, stainless steel is often used in aerospace for engine parts, flight control components, and high-stress assemblies. Learn more about stainless steel grades here.
- Nickel Alloys & Superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel): Commonly found in turbine and propulsion systems, these materials are built for extreme environments. Our CNC machining services ensure precision and excellent surface quality on nickel alloys.
- Tool Steels & Hardened Alloys (D2, A2, H13): We use EDM and CNC machining to manufacture tooling, molds, and wear parts essential for aerospace manufacturing. Our wire EDM machining ensures burr-free precision on complex hardened materials. Learn more about D2, A2, and H13 steels.
- High-Performance Plastics (PEEK, Ultem, PTFE): Known for their chemical resistance and lightweight properties, these plastics are ideal for insulation, seals, electrical parts, and specialty aerospace hardware. We utilize precise CNC machining capabilities to achieve consistent finishes on advanced aerospace plastics.
