Military and Defense Application

CNC MACHINES FOR MILITARY & DEFENSE

5 Axis G Series F333g15 Silo
Quickly enhance, modernize, or maintain existing product lines by automating manual processes and increasing your shop’s capacity. Build airplanes, helicopters, missiles, UAS, detection systems, submarines, military vehicles, and replacement parts quickly and that comply with the tolerances set by government regulations and that meet, if not exceed, your high standards. Know the exact time it takes to machine a component, during a given cycle or in total, for better planning and cost predictions.

Whether you’re facing a demand for innovative products or a backlog of orders, let us work with you to streamline your manufacturing, reduce costly manufacturing errors, and improve your margins.

Made with an Onsrud

Here are just some examples of the capabilities of our CNC machinery when it comes to manufacturing components for the military and defense:

Machines Built For You

We have machines that process a wide range of materials used in the military and defense: aluminum, steel, plastic, carbon fiber, foam, honeycomb core, and other advanced composites. We have listed the most common models here for machining these materials, but if these do not meet the needs of your specific application, one of our other machines may be a better fit for your shop floor.

Built for

Military and Defense

Integrate our large machining capabilities into your manufacturing process to make fuselages, air frames, and wings for airplanes, helicopters, missiles, UAS, and more. We offer work envelopes from 4′ x 8′ to 12′ x 100′+.

Whether you need to machine large or small nonferrous metals, light ferrous metals, advanced composites block and plate, or large aluminum sleets or billet, our machines are steel constructed and engineered to minimize potential spindle twist or deflection, producing efficient rapid movements during machining and increasing overall volumetric accuracy.

Built for

efficiency

We offer specialized CNC machinery built to process materials used in military and defense and engineered to reduce material handling, fixturing, and changeover time. Our honeycomb processing cell incorporates an industrial high-precision bandsaw to seamlessly shift between cutting and machining operations.

The solid state joining process that friction stir welding provides is ideal when you need seamlessly strong bonds without the added weight caused by bolts or rivets. C.R. Onsrud performs friction stir welding and CNC milling operations on a single machine.

We also offer a wide range of effective dust collection systems, enclosures, and material hold-down systems geared toward your application and the specific materials you’re machining.

Built for

You

With our user-friendly controls interface and available 24/7 support, you can bring all your military and defense manufacturing in-house to maintain or modernize existing equipment. Let us work with you to improve part costs, reduce material waste, and eliminate costly manufacturing errors to maximize the efficiency of your production.

Gain further control of the cost-effectiveness of your operation by incorporating Osync™ Machine Analytics. This software provides real-time, easy-to-read data for production planning, true cost predictions, and to maximize the performance over the lifetime of your machine.
