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

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

Our aerospace manufacturing services combine advanced CNC technology with the precision and repeatability required for flight-critical components. We offer a full range of machining capabilities to support everything from prototyping to full-scale production runs.

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

We specialize in high-precision shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational components with strict concentricity and roundness, made possible by multi-axis lathes performing complex aerospace turning in one pass.

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

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

We implement rigorous process controls across all services to ensure dimensional accuracy, consistent repeatability, and surface finishes that adhere to or surpass aerospace standards. Each part is inspected and documented per customer specifications.

Partnering with us means you receive aerospace components you can trust for safety and performance. Our dedication to precision machining and rigorous quality assurance helps ensure your project succeeds from start to finish.

Aerospace Materials We Machine

The aerospace industry relies on materials that combine strength, lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. Roberson Machine Company routinely handles these metals and high-performance alloys, producing precise and clean aerospace components, even with difficult materials.

Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050): Valued in aerospace for its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties, aluminum is used extensively in housings, brackets, and structural assemblies. Our aluminum CNC machining services deliver precise, high-quality parts.
Titanium (Grades 2, 5 / 6Al-4V): Valued for its combination of high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance, titanium is essential for aerospace fasteners, brackets, and hardware. Our titanium CNC machining capabilities ensure precision manufacturing of critical aerospace parts.
Stainless Steel (17-4PH, 15-5PH, 303, 316, 321): This strong and corrosion-resistant material is essential for aerospace flight controls, engine hardware, and structural assemblies. Additional details on grades of stainless steel are available here.
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): 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.
