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.
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
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
Combining state-of-the-art CNC machining with stringent quality controls, our aerospace manufacturing services deliver precise, repeatable results for critical components — from prototype to production.
5-Axis CNC Milling
Using advanced 5-axis milling equipment, we efficiently machine complex aerospace geometries in a single setup, enhancing accuracy and minimizing cycle time. This is 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 provides precise, burr-free cuts ideal for complex features, internal shapes, and delicate aerospace alloys. It’s particularly suited for small engine parts, fuel systems, and components requiring tight tolerances.
Prototype Machining
We offer fast prototype machining for aerospace projects during development and test phases, allowing engineers to confirm form, fit, and function before mass 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.
Count on us to provide aerospace manufacturing solutions that prioritize safety, precision, and durability. Our rigorous process controls and inspection protocols safeguard your project’s outcome.
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): Lightweight, robust, and corrosion-resistant, titanium is commonly used in aerospace for fasteners and structural components demanding an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Our precise titanium CNC machining processes meet stringent aerospace standards.
- 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): 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): 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.
