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.
Roberson Machine Company partners with aerospace and defense manufacturers to deliver CNC-machined parts that meet demanding requirements for geometry, tolerances, and documentation. Components we regularly produce 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
Every part comes with its own set of challenges — from complex geometry to challenging materials to strict inspection requirements. Our machining capabilities are built to handle the demands of aerospace manufacturing at every stage of production.
CNC Machining Services for Aerospace Manufacturing
At the heart of our aerospace manufacturing is advanced CNC technology, enabling us to meet stringent standards for flight-critical parts. We support projects from prototype phases through to extensive production.
5-Axis CNC Milling
With our 5-axis milling machines, we can tackle intricate aerospace shapes in one setup, boosting precision and cutting down cycle times. Perfect for structural parts, housings, brackets, and aerodynamic surfaces featuring 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
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
During development, qualification, and testing, we provide aerospace customers with quick prototype machining to help engineers validate design form, fit, and function prior to production.
Precision CNC Machining
Across all services, we maintain strict process controls to uphold dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and surface finishes that meet or exceed aerospace standards. Every part is carefully inspected and documented according to customer requirements.
With our partnership, expect aerospace parts crafted with care, accuracy, and compliance. We uphold strict quality controls to guarantee your project’s seamless progression.
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): 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): 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): 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): We specialize in tooling and molds for aerospace manufacturing using EDM and CNC machining. Our wire EDM machining provides burr-free precision cuts on hardened aerospace alloys. Discover more about D2, A2, and H13 steels.
- 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.
