Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
Aerospace parts don’t get second chances. Whether it’s a flight-critical bracket or a complex engine housing, every component demands precision from the first cut to final inspection.
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
- Hydraulic and fuel system housings
- Avionics enclosures and mounts
- 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
Our aerospace manufacturing services combine advanced CNC technology with the precision and repeatability required for flight-critical components. We offer a full range of machining capabilities to support everything from prototyping to full-scale production runs.
5-Axis CNC Milling
Our 5-axis milling equipment allows us to machine complex aerospace geometries in a single setup, improving accuracy and reducing cycle time. Ideal for structural components, housings, brackets, and aerodynamic surfaces with compound angles.
Multi-Axis CNC Turning
We produce high-precision shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational components with tight concentricity and roundness. Our multi-axis lathes allow for both 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
We support aerospace customers during development, qualification, and test phases with rapid-turn prototype machining. Our prototype services allow engineers to evaluate form, fit, and function before committing to full production runs.
Precision CNC Machining
Across 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.
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): 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): Known for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Often used for flight control components, engine hardware, and high-stress assemblies. See additional stainless steel grade information.
- Nickel Alloys & Superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel): Engineered to handle extreme heat and pressure, these materials are used in turbine components, exhaust systems, and propulsion hardware. Our CNC machining services handle nickel alloys with process stability and clean surface finishes.
- 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): Lightweight and chemical-resistant, used for insulation, electrical components, seals, and specialty aerospace hardware. Our CNC machining capabilities produce consistent, clean results across a range of advanced aerospace plastics.

Why Aerospace Companies Work With Roberson Machine Company
Every aerospace machining job we run is built around controlling variation. From programming and fixturing to in-process inspections, we use repeatable setups and documented processes to keep parts consistent — whether it’s a one-off prototype or full production run. Dimensional accuracy, material traceability, and part consistency stay locked in at every stage.
We operate with documented quality processes for part verification, dimensional checks, and material tracking throughout production. In-process inspections, first article inspections (FAI), and CMM (coordinate measuring machine) reports are available when required, along with full documentation packages for aerospace programs that call for additional compliance reporting.
What Sets Roberson Apart
- Quality: Every part is machined to meet your specified tolerances, using only the materials approved for your aerospace applications.
- Reliability: We deliver on schedule, maintain clear communication, and work to keep your production on track without unexpected delays.
- Precision: Our CNC machining processes are designed for consistency, accuracy, and repeatability — from first article through full production.
With more than 20 years in business, we serve aerospace manufacturers across the U.S., delivering precision-machined parts for flight-critical systems. Our team combines advanced multi-axis equipment, experienced operators, and the ability to scale from prototypes to high-volume production — whether you’re producing simple or highly complex components.
In addition to aerospace, we serve industries where precision matters — including defense, medical, automotive, and food and beverage and advanced manufacturing with the same attention to detail and process discipline.
