Azimuth CNC uses all of the advantages of 5 axis machining to produce high quality precision machined aerospace parts. Increased speed and superior surface finish are achieved with fewer setups. Complex or ruled surfaces can be machined in one pass, speeding delivery. Compound angle holes and undercuts can be cut quickly and accurately. Using an integrated automated pallet system, we can use unattended machining even on high precision complex parts.

Working with your engineering staff, we can machine a functional prototype from a wide variety of materials to meet your design specifications. When the prototype has been developed and approved, we can use the knowledge, fixturing and machining strategies used to make the prototype to produce your part at a very reasonable cost. As required, we can also supply secondary and finishing operations like assembly, deburring and painting.
