Precision CNC machining for aeronautical parts
The aeronautical and aerospace sector demands machined parts with tight tolerances, process traceability and materials with specific strength and weight properties. CNC machining, both milling and turning, is the usual process for manufacturing these components.
Materials and processes in aerospace machining
In this sector it is common to machine high-strength aluminum, titanium and special steels, materials whose cutting requirements differ from one another. See our aluminum machining and titanium machining pages for more detail on each material.
Advantages of Vurcon solutions in the aeronautical industry
Our vertical machining centers and double-column offer high-speed spindles and numerical controls that allow cycles to be programmed to the tolerances this type of part requires. The suitability of each machine for a specific aeronautical project (approvals, certifications or specific requirements of the end customer) must be assessed case by case with our technical team.
Applications of CNC in aviation and space
CNC machining is used to manufacture structural brackets, mechanical system components, production fixtures and precision parts for equipment and structures in the aeronautical and aerospace sector.
Frequently asked questions about aeronautical CNC machining
Do Vurcon machines have aerospace certification?
Certification of the machining process depends on the workshop that operates the machine, not on the machine itself. Check the requirements of your specific project with our technical team.
Which machine is recommended for precision aeronautical parts?
It depends on the type of part, the material and the required tolerance. Request information describing your application to receive a tailored recommendation.
Can titanium and special alloys be machined with Vurcon equipment?
Yes, within the power and spindle speed limits of each model. See our page on titanium machining for more information.
