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

Sensor housings
Guidance system components
Optical mounts
Fuel injector components
Micro connectors
MEMS device components

Materials Commonly Machined

AluminumStainless steelTitaniumKovarPEEKBeryllium copper

Technical Considerations

  • High-speed spindles (40,000+ RPM)
  • Micro-end mills down to 0.001" diameter
  • Temperature-controlled environments
  • Microscope inspection during machining
