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.
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
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
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
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
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
Supporting aerospace development and testing phases, our rapid prototype machining helps engineers verify form, fit, and function before full production.
Precision CNC Machining
Throughout all services, we apply strict process controls to maintain dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and surface finishes that meet or exceed aerospace industry standards. Every part is inspected and documented to customer requirements.
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): Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and widely used for housings, brackets, airframe components, and structural assemblies. Our aluminum CNC machining processes handle complex aerospace parts with consistent precision and finish.
- Titanium (Grades 2, 5 / 6Al-4V): Known for its strength, light weight, and excellent corrosion resistance, titanium is ideal for fasteners, structural brackets, and essential aerospace hardware requiring high strength-to-weight ratios. Our titanium CNC machining services deliver precision parts for rigorous aerospace demands.
- 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): 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): 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 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.
