Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
When it comes to aerospace parts, precision isn’t optional — it’s essential. Critical components must meet exact specs on the first run.
At Roberson Machine Company, we support aerospace and defense manufacturers with CNC machining capabilities built for complex geometries, tight tolerances, and full process control — from early-stage prototyping to full production runs. Typical aerospace components we machine include:
- 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
Precision aerospace machining calls for more than just equipment — it requires experience with high-performance materials, complex geometry, and detailed quality checks. Roberson delivers across the board.
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
We utilize 5-axis milling equipment to handle complex aerospace geometries in one setup, improving accuracy and lowering cycle time. Perfect for structural components, housings, brackets, and aerodynamic surfaces with compound angles.
Multi-Axis CNC Turning
With our multi-axis lathes, we deliver high-precision shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational parts featuring tight concentricity and roundness, capable of simple and complex aerospace turning operations in a single pass.
Wire EDM Machining
Wire EDM delivers burr-free, high-accuracy cutting for intricate features, internal geometries, and heat-sensitive aerospace alloys. This process is especially effective for small engine components, fuel systems, and fine-tolerance parts.
Prototype Machining
During development, qualification, and testing, we provide aerospace customers with quick prototype machining to help engineers validate design form, fit, and function prior to production.
Precision CNC Machining
Across all services, we maintain strict process controls to uphold dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and surface finishes that meet or exceed aerospace standards. Every part is carefully inspected and documented according to customer requirements.
When you choose us as your machining partner, you get aerospace parts built for reliability and exacting standards. Our commitment to quality and precision supports your project’s success at every phase.
Aerospace Materials We Machine
Balancing strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance is critical for aerospace components. Roberson Machine Company expertly machines the metals and advanced alloys used in aerospace manufacturing, consistently delivering precise, high-quality results on tough materials.
- Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050): This corrosion-resistant, lightweight metal is commonly used in housings, brackets, and airframe assemblies. Our aluminum CNC machining capabilities ensure accurate and smooth finishes for aerospace applications.
- Titanium (Grades 2, 5 / 6Al-4V): Strong, lightweight, and highly corrosion-resistant — commonly used for fasteners, structural brackets, and critical aerospace hardware where strength-to-weight ratio matters. Our titanium CNC machining capabilities produce precise parts for demanding aerospace applications.
- Stainless Steel (17-4PH, 15-5PH, 303, 316, 321): Renowned for its strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness, stainless steel is common in flight controls, engine parts, and high-stress aerospace assemblies. Learn more about stainless steel grades here.
- Nickel Alloys & Superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel): Ideal for high-heat, high-stress aerospace applications such as turbine and exhaust components, these superalloys require expert machining. We utilize our CNC machining services to achieve stable processes and superior finishes.
- Tool Steels & Hardened Alloys (D2, A2, H13): Our EDM and CNC machining capabilities produce tooling, molds, and wear-resistant components used throughout aerospace manufacturing. We provide burr-free, complex cuts on hardened aerospace materials via wire EDM machining. Explore details on D2, A2, and H13.
- High-Performance Plastics (PEEK, Ultem, PTFE): Valued for their light weight and chemical resistance, these plastics serve in insulation, specialty hardware, seals, and electrical components. Our CNC machining capabilities deliver precise, high-quality aerospace parts.
