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.
Roberson Machine Company partners with aerospace and defense manufacturers to deliver CNC-machined parts that meet demanding requirements for geometry, tolerances, and documentation. Components we regularly produce 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
At the heart of our aerospace manufacturing is advanced CNC technology, enabling us to meet stringent standards for flight-critical parts. We support projects from prototype phases through to extensive production.
5-Axis CNC Milling
Using advanced 5-axis milling equipment, we efficiently machine complex aerospace geometries in a single setup, enhancing accuracy and minimizing cycle time. This is ideal 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
Our rapid-turn prototype machining services assist aerospace clients through development, qualification, and testing stages, enabling engineers to assess form, fit, and function early.
Precision CNC Machining
We implement rigorous process controls across all services to ensure dimensional accuracy, consistent repeatability, and surface finishes that adhere to or surpass aerospace standards. Each part is inspected and documented per customer specifications.
With our partnership, expect aerospace parts crafted with care, accuracy, and compliance. We uphold strict quality controls to guarantee your project’s seamless progression.
Aerospace Materials We Machine
Roberson Machine Company understands that aerospace components require advanced metals and alloys balancing strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. Our machining services deliver clean, precise results on complex aerospace materials, no matter the difficulty.
- Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050): Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and widely used for housings, brackets, airframe components, and structural assemblies. Our aluminum CNC machining processes handle complex aerospace parts with consistent precision and finish.
- 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): These high-performance alloys withstand extreme temperatures and pressures, making them ideal for turbine components and propulsion systems. Our CNC machining services deliver consistent quality and surface finish.
- 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): Lightweight and resistant to chemicals, these materials are perfect for aerospace insulation, seals, electrical components, and specialty hardware. We employ advanced CNC machining capabilities to produce clean, precise parts from these plastics.
