Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
No second chances in aerospace: even the smallest component must be manufactured with consistent, first-pass accuracy.
We help aerospace and defense companies machine high-precision parts for critical systems — from prototype to production. Our CNC capabilities are ideal for complex geometries and tight-tolerance 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
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
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
Using multi-axis lathes, we produce shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational components with exceptional concentricity and roundness, supporting both basic and complex aerospace turning in a single operation.
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
Supporting aerospace development and testing phases, our rapid prototype machining helps engineers verify form, fit, and function before full production.
Precision CNC Machining
Our commitment to strict process controls ensures dimensional precision, consistent repeatability, and superior surface finishes throughout all services, meeting aerospace industry standards. Every part is thoroughly inspected and documented as requested by customers.
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
Advanced materials balancing strength, corrosion resistance, weight, and heat tolerance are essential in aerospace parts. Roberson Machine Company works extensively with these metals and alloys, providing accurate, clean machining on even the most challenging aerospace substrates.
- 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): This strong, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight metal is widely used in aerospace for fasteners, brackets, and hardware where strength-to-weight balance is critical. We utilize advanced titanium CNC machining to achieve tight tolerances on aerospace components.
- Stainless Steel (17-4PH, 15-5PH, 303, 316, 321): With excellent durability and corrosion resistance, stainless steel serves critical roles in flight control components, engine assemblies, and high-stress aerospace parts. Find detailed stainless steel grade info here.
- 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): 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): 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.
