Precision CNC Horizontal Milling of a Billet Titanium Fitting for the Aerospace Industry

An aerospace company approached Aljo-Gefa Precision Manufacturing LLC. to create a custom aluminum fitting to be used within an aircraft tail stabilizer. The customer's specifications required that the fitting be milled from a 20" x 10" x 6.5" piece of billet aluminum. Machining required pocketing, profiling, drilling and boring, and featuring true positioning of ±.005". Quality was maintained with dimensional inspection utilizing our CMM, and manual inspection capabilities. The tail stabilizer hinge fittings shipped on time, and continue to be delivered according to the customer's J.I.T. schedule requirements.
