The American aerospace sector has advanced significantly over the last several decades, with automation continuously remaining at the forefront of technological investment and innovation. The challenge is to consistently meet the industry’s need for high-precision, highly complex aerospace component manufacturing solutions while keeping costs manageable. Automation is often the key to domestic manufacturers meeting all of those requirements simultaneously.

Keeping pace with the industry for more than 35 years, RDS Machine has strategically integrated various automated machining solutions which we have tailored to our customers’ evolving requirements.​

Automated Machining Solutions at RDS:

Utilizing state-of-the-art CNC machines, RDS specializes in high-precision aerospace component manufacturing aided by the efficiency of automation.​

Collaborating with our customers early in the design and engineering phases, we offer crucial GD&T guidance that facilitates seamless transition of your custom designs to the CNC machine, and eventually to the finished product. Once we have the design, programming, and tooling in place, much of the machining process thereafter is automated to an extremely high degree of repeatability.

Adhering to strict aerospace industry standards and backed by an AS9100D certified quality management system, RDS ensures that every component meets all customer specifications and quality requirements. Our robust quality control process includes various automated systems as well as manual checks to achieve the highest reliability possible.

Aerospace Precision and Quality:

• Superior Quality, Accuracy, and Precision:
• AS9100D/ISO 9001:2015
• ITAR Registered
• Lockheed Reduced Dimension Drawings
• NIST SP 800-171 Compliant

What Automation Offers to Your Precision Machined Aerospace Parts:

• Better Efficiency and Productivity – RDS’ integration of automation streamlines our production processes. We can minimize cycle times to increase throughput, or in other cases we can more rapidly tool up and quickly produce small batch projects just-in-time or as needed.

• Higher Precision and Quality – Our automated systems ensure consistent quality, minimizing human error. While there’s no replacement for the experience and craftsmanship our team brings to the table, automation helps us achieve the repeatability needed to meet modern aerospace regulations and quality expectations.

• Complex Component Designs – It’s not uncommon for our customers to require exceedingly complex aerospace components with intricate part features and difficult- to-machine designs. Automation facilitates the precise manufacturing of these challenging components, readily accommodating rapid design changes and additional customization as needed.​
