Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
Precision matters most in aerospace machining, where one flaw can ground an entire system. That’s why every cut counts from the beginning.
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
From tight tolerances to exotic materials, aerospace components demand precision. Our shop is equipped to meet those challenges head-on, every step of the way.
CNC Machining Services for Aerospace Manufacturing
Precision and repeatability define our aerospace manufacturing services, powered by advanced CNC machining. Whether it’s initial prototypes or full production runs, we ensure quality every step of the way.
5-Axis CNC Milling
Equipped with 5-axis milling technology, we machine complex aerospace geometries in a single setup to improve accuracy and shorten cycle times. 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
With rapid-turn prototype machining, we assist aerospace customers in development, qualification, and testing by enabling engineers to evaluate form, fit, and function ahead of production.
Precision CNC Machining
Dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and exceptional surface finishes are maintained via strict process controls in every service, meeting or exceeding aerospace industry requirements. We inspect and document each part to customer standards.
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
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): Favored for its corrosion resistance and light weight, aluminum is ideal for airframe components, housings, and structural assemblies. We employ advanced aluminum CNC machining to produce complex aerospace parts with exacting standards.
- 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): EDM and CNC machining techniques enable us to create tooling, molds, and wear parts for aerospace manufacturing. Our wire EDM machining ensures burr-free, precise cuts on hardened aerospace materials. More on D2, A2, and H13 steels.
- High-Performance Plastics (PEEK, Ultem, PTFE): These lightweight, chemical-resistant plastics are commonly used in aerospace for electrical components, seals, and insulation. Our CNC machining services ensure clean, accurate results with these advanced materials.
