Benefits of Using CNC Machining for Aerospace Parts
The many advantages of computer numerical control (CNC) machining make it an ideal fit for aerospace part production. Its benefits include:
Superior performance. To safeguard against part failure, aerospace components must adhere to stringent dimensional, tolerance, and performance requirements. CNC machining is ideal for this, making it possible for manufacturers to use high-performance yet difficult-to-machine materials like titanium in production.
Light weight. For equipment that takes flight, weight is an important consideration in its parts. CNC machining is capable of producing thin-walled components and structures from lightweight yet strong materials to fulfill this need.
High efficiency. One CNC machine can complete several machining processes. Also, through automation, CNC machining achieves higher speeds to shorten production cycles and improve efficiency.
Reliable precision. Thanks to continuous improvement in CNC machining, the process is increasingly precise. Better accuracy and process control minimize manufacturing defects and result in durable, high-quality parts with tight tolerances.
Affordability. Precision combined with rapid production helps with per-part costs, saving money on material waste, defect rework, and labor. Improved output also boosts profitability.

Aerospace Milling with 5 Axis CNC
As the aerospace industry evolves into more complex machined parts, RCT's 5-axis machines enable large workpieces to be easily loaded that often don't fit easily to a 3 or 4-axis operation. From the highly rigid platform to the flexible tilt/swivel spindle, RCT's 5-axis machines combine the stability and versatility that shop owners look for and need when machining parts with complex geometry in a single setup.
