Excellence You Can Trust

Trusted by Fortune 500 companies for high-precision CNC machining, tight tolerances, and superior quality.

Deliver Consistent Micron-Accuracy on Complex Components

Achieving micron-level dimensional accuracy and complex part geometries requires advanced CNC machining strategies tailored for aerospace-grade components. 

Multi-Axis Precision Machining

Utilize 5-axis CNC machines with positional accuracy up to ±5 microns (±0.005 mm), enabling the production of complex contours, pockets, and features critical for aerodynamic and structural integrity. 

Thin-Wall and Feature Stability

Apply optimized spindle speeds (up to 20,000 RPM) and feed rates while using vibration-damping fixtures to machine thin walls as thin as 0.5 mm without deformation or chatter. 

Consistent Process Control

Implement process monitoring systems and precision fixtures to maintain tolerances typically within ±10 microns (±0.01 mm) across batch runs, ensuring interchangeability and consistent component performance. 

Aerospace & Defense

Optimize Machining for Exotic Aerospace Materials

Machining aerospace alloys like titanium, Inconel, and other nickel-based superalloys demands specialized approaches to mitigate challenges posed by their material properties. 

Thermal and Mechanical Stress Management

Control cutting temperatures typically below 100°C through precise parameter optimization to minimize thermal expansion and residual stress, avoiding distortion beyond ±15 microns. 

Advanced Tooling and Cutting Parameters

Use carbide or PVD-coated tools designed for superalloys, optimizing cutting speeds between 30–80 m/min and feed rates to maximize tool life and surface finish quality (Ra < 0.8 µm). 

Efficient Cooling and Lubrication

Employ high-pressure coolant delivery systems (up to 70 bar) for effective heat dissipation and lubrication, preventing work hardening and extending tool life by up to 30%. 

Aerospace & Defense

Provide Complete Quality Compliance and Traceability

Manufacturing aerospace CNC components requires comprehensive quality systems ensuring regulatory compliance and traceability throughout all production stages. 

Raw Material Certification and Control

Verify 100% traceability of materials back to the mill heat with full chemical composition and mechanical property certification, meeting AS9100 and NADCAP standards. 

In-Process and Final Inspection

Perform first article inspections (FAI) with coordinate measuring machines (CMM) capable of accuracy ±2 microns, alongside optical and surface finish inspections to confirm conformance. 

Regulatory Documentation and Reporting

Maintain detailed inspection and process control records for 100% of production lots, compliant with AS9100, NADCAP, and ITAR, ensuring audit readiness and full traceability for safety-critical aerospace components.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate adapt aerospace-grade precision standards to meet automotive high-volume production demands?

Frigate combines aerospace precision with automotive volume needs. CNC machines are set up for quick changeovers. This reduces downtime and keeps production flexible. Process controls and statistical monitoring ensure tolerances stay within ±10 microns. Large batches maintain consistent, repeatable accuracy. This approach balances quality and volume efficiently. 

What advanced materials expertise does Frigate offer for automotive parts requiring aerospace-grade strength and durability?

Frigate machines lightweight alloys like aluminum 7075 and titanium Ti-6Al-4V. These materials offer high strength and low weight. Specialized tooling and cutting parameters prevent heat damage and tool wear. Strict quality checks confirm mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This ensures parts perform reliably in demanding conditions. 

How does Frigate ensure stringent quality control for automotive components that must meet aerospace traceability requirements?

Frigate tracks every raw material with batch and heat numbers. Material certificates are linked and documented. Inspections occur at multiple production stages, including first article inspection (FAI). Documentation complies with AS9100 and NADCAP standards. This full traceability supports audits and supply chain transparency. 

What process innovations does Frigate implement to manage the complex geometries and tight tolerances common in automotive components used in aerospace applications?

Frigate uses 5-axis CNC machines for complex shapes. Simulation software optimizes tool paths for speed and accuracy. In-process measurements verify features in real time. Adjustments are made immediately if needed. This ensures parts meet ±10 micron tolerances and design specifications. 

How does Frigate address the challenge of minimizing cycle times while maintaining aerospace-level quality for automotive production runs?

Frigate uses high-speed spindles and optimized tooling to speed machining. Predictive maintenance reduces machine downtime. CAM software minimizes non-cutting moves. Automated inspection systems check quality continuously. This approach keeps production fast without losing quality.
