Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
No second chances in aerospace: even the smallest component must be manufactured with consistent, first-pass accuracy.
Supporting aerospace and defense industries nationwide, Roberson Machine Company provides CNC machining for mission-critical parts — including:
- 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
We understand that aerospace manufacturing leaves no room for error. That’s why our CNC capabilities are built to handle intricate designs, strict standards, and tough-to-machine materials with confidence.
CNC Machining Services for Aerospace Manufacturing
Our aerospace manufacturing solutions utilize advanced CNC technology to guarantee the precision and repeatability needed for flight-critical parts. We handle everything from prototyping through full production.
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
Precision shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational components with tight concentricity and roundness are produced on our multi-axis lathes, enabling both straightforward and complex aerospace turning in one pass.
Wire EDM Machining
Wire EDM provides precise, burr-free cuts ideal for complex features, internal shapes, and delicate aerospace alloys. It’s particularly suited for small engine parts, fuel systems, and components requiring tight tolerances.
Prototype Machining
Supporting aerospace development and testing phases, our rapid prototype machining helps engineers verify form, fit, and function before full 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.
Trust in our expertise for aerospace components that meet stringent safety and performance requirements. We focus on precision machining and thorough quality checks to deliver consistent results.
Aerospace Materials We Machine
In aerospace manufacturing, components demand advanced materials that offer strength, lightness, corrosion resistance, and heat durability. At Roberson Machine Company, we specialize in machining metals, alloys, and high-performance materials — ensuring precise, clean finishes even on challenging substrates.
- 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): 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): Durable and corrosion-resistant, this metal is widely used in aerospace for engine hardware, flight control parts, and assemblies requiring strength. More on stainless steel grades at this resource.
- Nickel Alloys & Superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel): Used in turbine blades, exhaust parts, and propulsion hardware, these alloys are engineered for durability under harsh conditions. Our CNC machining services provide precision and clean finishes on these tough materials.
- Tool Steels & Hardened Alloys (D2, A2, H13): EDM and CNC machining allow us to produce tooling, molds, and wear components used in aerospace manufacturing operations. Our wire EDM machining provides burr-free cutting for complex features in hardened aerospace materials. Read more about D2, A2, and H13 properties.
- 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.
