How We Machine Your Custom Avionics Enclosures
1. Material Selection – Built for Strength & Weight Savings
Avionics enclosures need to be light yet strong enough to handle vibration, temperature swings, and occasional impacts. That’s why we typically use:
- 6061-T6 Aluminum – Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, easy to machine
- 7075 Aluminum – High strength for critical applications (requires corrosion protection)
- PEEK & Ultem (PEI) – For extreme heat resistance and EMI shielding
2. CNC Milling Process – Precision from Start to Finish
Our CNC milling services are the perfect solution for even the most complex avionics enclosures with ease. Here’s how we do it:
- CAD/CAM Programming – We start with your 3D model (or help design one) and optimize toolpaths for efficiency.
- Fixture & Setup – Custom jigs ensure stability during machining.
- High-Speed Machining (HSM) – Reduces cycle times while maintaining accuracy.
- Multi-Step Finishing – Smooth surfaces for sealing, plus deburring for safety.
3. Critical Features We Can Machine
✔ EMI/RFI Shielding Grooves – For conductive gaskets
✔ Cooling Vents & Heat Sinks – Passive thermal management
✔ Threaded Inserts & Mounting Holes – Secure component attachment
✔ O-Ring & Gasket Channels – For waterproof or dustproof sealing
✔ Custom Branding & Labels – Laser engraving or machined lettering
4. Surface Finishing for Protection & Aesthetics
Bare aluminum won’t cut it in harsh aerospace environments. That’s why we offer:
- Anodizing (Type II & III) – Corrosion-resistant, electrically insulating
- Powder Coating – Extra durability and custom colors
- Chemical Conversion Coatings – For paint adhesion
- Bead Blasting & Brushing – For a uniform, professional look
