CNC Machining
Much of CNC machining for defense components requirea multi-axis 3-4-5 axis simultaneous machining capabilities. Intrex Aerospace has been providing tight-tolerance, quality components for years. As an ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified aerospace manufacturer, we have the facility (75,000 sq. ft.), the experience (30+ years), and quality control systems necessary to produce the high-quality precision machined components the aerospace, defense, and space industries require.
Our high-precision machine shop has multiple CNC multi-axis machines (vertical and horizontal centers, and 5-axis CNC turning lathes). Our multi-axis machines help reduce setups, eliminate error stack-up, and improve lead times—ideal for machining complex shapes with minimal operator intervention.
Robust MRP/ERP System
As an experienced manufacturer of thin-walled machined parts, we control the scheduling, production and shipment through our Epicor MRP/ERP system. If your parts require special processing, we manage that through our qualified outside sourcing resources. Total system Integration and coordination internally, and communication with our customers are keys to our success as an aerospace manufacturer. If you need special packaging or shipping, please provide the specifications and we can accomodate. We can coordinate and align our production, to match our customer forecast and demand.
Six Sigma
A challenge in aerospace manufacturing is maintaining quality and controlling costs, Utilizing Six Sigma for an Aerospace Manufacturer has has become one of the most reliable tools used to achieve both quality and control cost. By statistically modeling manufacturing processes, Six Sigma professionals can identify where defects occur so that managers can develop target plans to improve these failure points. The final goal is to control your process to achieve zero defects. And, when combined with Lean process flow, the advantages for an aerospace manufacturer can be exceptional.
The key to successful Six Sigma use for an aerospace manufacturer is having both appropriate data and the personnel to use it. Quality control tools are essential in this process, as the statistical measures used in Six Sigma rely on accurate measurements. This is especially true in aerospace manufacturing where high-mix, low-volume order custom machining may make it difficult to create a significant sample, and quality standards can be stringent. Look for an aerospace manufacturer experienced at using statistical process controls (SPC), as they are more likely to develop a reliable sample and achieve greater results from their Six Sigma initiatives.
