Precision CNC Manufacturing for Aerospace Applications
Aerospace parts don’t get second chances. Whether it’s a flight-critical bracket or a complex engine housing, every component demands precision from the first cut to final inspection.
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
Precision and repeatability define our aerospace manufacturing services, powered by advanced CNC machining. Whether it’s initial prototypes or full production runs, we ensure quality every step of the way.
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
Our multi-axis lathes manufacture high-precision shafts, bushings, pins, and rotational parts, ensuring tight concentricity and roundness. They handle simple to complex aerospace turning in one 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 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.
When you choose us as your machining partner, you get aerospace parts built for reliability and exacting standards. Our commitment to quality and precision supports your project’s success at every phase.
Aerospace Materials We Machine
Balancing strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance is critical for aerospace components. Roberson Machine Company expertly machines the metals and advanced alloys used in aerospace manufacturing, consistently delivering precise, high-quality results on tough materials.
- Aluminum (6061, 7075, 7050): Lightweight and durable, aluminum alloys like 6061, 7075, and 7050 are widely used in aerospace for brackets, housings, and structural parts. Our aluminum CNC machining processes provide consistent precision and surface quality.
- 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): 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): Designed for high heat and pressure resistance, these superalloys are common in turbine parts, exhaust systems, and propulsion hardware. We apply precise CNC machining services to ensure excellent surface finish and process control.
- 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): These lightweight, chemical-resistant plastics are commonly used in aerospace for electrical components, seals, and insulation. Our CNC machining services ensure clean, accurate results with these advanced materials.
