Precision Micro Machining for Aerospace & Defense
Micro machining produces extremely small, precise components for sensors, guidance systems, and miniaturized electronics. Features can be as small as 0.001" with tolerances in the millionths of an inch.
Why Aerospace Requires Micro Machining
- ✓Miniaturized sensors and guidance components
- ✓UAV and missile systems require tiny parts
- ✓Satellite and space system miniaturization
- ✓Medical aerospace crossover applications
- ✓Weight reduction through miniaturization
Typical Applications
Materials Commonly Machined
Technical Considerations
- •High-speed spindles (40,000+ RPM)
- •Micro-end mills down to 0.001" diameter
- •Temperature-controlled environments
- •Microscope inspection during machining
