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
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
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
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
With burr-free precision, Wire EDM excels at cutting intricate details, internal geometries, and heat-sensitive aerospace materials, making it perfect for small engine components, fuel systems, and parts with fine 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
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.
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
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): 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): 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): Commonly found in turbine and propulsion systems, these materials are built for extreme environments. Our CNC machining services ensure precision and excellent surface quality on nickel alloys.
- Tool Steels & Hardened Alloys (D2, A2, H13): Producing tooling, molds, and wear components for aerospace manufacturing requires precise EDM and CNC machining. Our wire EDM machining delivers burr-free cuts on complex hardened materials. For more info, see D2, A2, and H13 properties.
- High-Performance Plastics (PEEK, Ultem, PTFE): Lightweight and resistant to chemicals, these materials are perfect for aerospace insulation, seals, electrical components, and specialty hardware. We employ advanced CNC machining capabilities to produce clean, precise parts from these plastics.
