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.
From prototyping to scaled production, we provide aerospace manufacturers with CNC machining tailored for precision, repeatability, and documentation. Common parts 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
Each aerospace component brings unique demands — whether it’s geometric complexity, specialty materials, or rigorous inspection criteria. Our CNC machining process is designed to deliver on all fronts.
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
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
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 is known for burr-free, highly accurate cutting of detailed aerospace geometries and sensitive alloys, ideal for fuel systems, small engine parts, and finely-toleranced aerospace components.
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
Strict process controls are enforced throughout our services to guarantee dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and surface quality that complies with aerospace industry benchmarks. All parts undergo inspection and documentation according to customer demands.
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
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): Lightweight and durable, aluminum alloys like 6061, 7075, and 7050 are widely used in aerospace for brackets, housings, and structural parts. Our aluminum CNC machining processes provide consistent precision and surface quality.
- 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): 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): Designed for high heat and pressure resistance, these superalloys are common in turbine parts, exhaust systems, and propulsion hardware. We apply precise CNC machining services to ensure excellent surface finish and process control.
- Tool Steels & Hardened Alloys (D2, A2, H13): We use EDM and CNC machining to manufacture tooling, molds, and wear parts essential for aerospace manufacturing. Our wire EDM machining ensures burr-free precision on complex hardened materials. Learn more about D2, A2, and H13 steels.
- High-Performance Plastics (PEEK, Ultem, PTFE): Used extensively for seals, insulation, electrical parts, and specialty aerospace hardware due to their lightweight and chemical-resistant nature. Our CNC machining capabilities provide consistent, clean machining of these advanced plastics.
