Aerospace Sliding Head CNC Machining for High-Precision Components

At APT, we specialise in manufacturing aerospace components using advanced sliding head CNC machining technology. Our expertise in producing tight-tolerance CNC turned parts ensures reliable performance in demanding aerospace environments.

Sliding head (Swiss-type) CNC machines are particularly suited to small-diameter, high-accuracy components where stability and concentricity are critical. This allows us to deliver repeatable, high-quality precision aerospace machined parts for both prototype and production volumes.

Technical Capabilities in Aerospace CNC Machining

Our sliding head CNC machines enable the manufacture of complex aerospace components with features such as:

• Fine-pitch threading and precision tapping
• Cross-drilling and off-centre milling operations
• Multi-axis machining in a single setup
• High concentricity and tight geometric tolerances
• Micro-diameter and long, slender component production

We regularly machine aerospace-grade materials including: 303 & 316 stainless steel, aluminium alloys, titanium grades, and other high-performance engineering metals. Careful control of cutting parameters ensures dimensional stability and superior surface finishes.

Every aerospace machined component is produced with a focus on consistency, traceability, and compliance with customer specifications.
