There has been much discussion about onshoring and the bringing back to our domestic shores, manufacturing products and processes. It is the reversal of what has been taking place over the last three decades. The tide is reversing and  the advantages of onshoring CNC machined parts is gaining traction. We at Intrex Aerospace, with our […]

We recognize the value of preventive maintenance. It serves as one of the cornerstones of producing precision aerospace machine components. It  not only requires state-of-the-art equipment, experienced engineering and operators, but also regular intervals of preventative maintenance. At Intrex Aerospace we recognize the value.  Proper regularly scheduleds PMs are critical to our aerospace contract manufacturing […]

We at Intrex Aerospace are proud to be part of the manufacturing universe. We know that as different segments of our overall economy are measured in terms of sales or revenue dollars, not all segments have the same impact. There is an economic principle called the Manufacturing Multiplier Effect . Because of the many links […]

Intrex Aerospace is a leading contract aerospace manufacturer. As a leader, we recognize that continuous improvement requires investments in technology system software, support hardware, and CNC equipment.We are constantly monitoring, measuring, and evaluating our manufacturing methods and adding  appropriate advanced CNC equipment for aerospace. to our operation.  Innovation coupled with speed and efficiency are what […]

Manufacturing of aerospace/space/defense CNC machined components requires a very high level of quality control. Intrex Aerospace has a mature controlled quality assurance program that insures all our manufactured components are measured, monitored, and documented throughout the entire manufacturing process. Control on this level of manufacturing requires integrating ERP and quality assurance. Our QMS (quality management […]

Intrex Aerospace is a CNC contract manufacturer for the aerospace/space/defense market(s). One of our challenges as an aerospace manufacturer, is to be able to introduce new parts onto our shop floor, without disrupting our “normal” production flow. Introducing and integrating new CNC components goes well beyond “just cutting chips”. Introducing new parts while maintaining normal […]

In today’s aerospace manufacturing there is a good deal of thought and movement toward higher levels of automation. Much of automation’s focus is on the ability of the manufacturer to produce parts with minimum or no human operators, during standard hours or while running 2nd, 3rd, and weekend shifts. There are different levels of automation […]

As an aerospace manufacturer, we are at all times involved in continuous improvement. We are regularly evaluating and updating our equipment, software, and processes. In our evaluation we also compare the efficiencies of using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) operators versus using applied robotics (automation). The nature of aerospace component manufacturing, much of which is low-to-medium […]

Running an aerospace and defense machine shop is incredibly challenging. Keeping pace with the aerospace market and the required changes (updates) in technology, requires moving from a traditional toward a digital machine shop. This transitioning from traditional to digital in an aerospace manufacturing environment, involves integrating advanced technologies that enhance production, efficiency, and innovation.  Is […]
