Custom CNC Vertical Milling of an Extruded Aluminum Component for the Aerospace Industry

An aerospace company approached Aljo-Gefa Precision Manufacturing LLC. to fabricate extruded aluminum components which were to be used within an aerospace application. Each component measured between 56" to 86" in length, 2.5" wide, and 4" high, and required vertical milling and profiling. The components required anodizing, priming and painting as well as special packaging.

The customer supplied a 2D CAD drawing from which the Aljo Gefa team created the tooling and programmed the CNC vertical milling process. The components met specific tolerances of ±0.015", which was verified on our CMM and manual measuring equipment. The final extruded aluminum aircraft components were specially packaged and shipped, 32 every month, to the customer's location.
