High-Precision CNC Machining For The Aerospace industry

The aerospace industry demands the highest standards of accuracy and repeatability. At Rainford Precision, we specialise in supplying world-class CNC machining centres from Kern, Benzinger, Finepart, PEMTec amd Innolite, as well as micron-precise cutting tools to meet unique demands.

From adhering to stringent national and international safety standards to leveraging state-of-the-art technology, our expertise means every tool we supply meets the highest expectations.

Whether you need precision machining equipment for a one-off project or comprehensive tooling solutions for ongoing aerospace manufacturing, Rainford has more than 30 years' experience supporting the aerospace industry. We are experts in supplying CNC machining centres and precision tools that enable manufacturers to produce components to the highest standards and exact specifications.

Our deep understanding of aerospace requirements means we supply equipment that helps our clients achieve strict adherence to standards such as AS9100, the international standard for aerospace management systems. We support the industry's continual striving for constant improvement, defect prevention and waste reduction by providing the precision machinery and tooling solutions that make this possible. This ensures our clients have access to equipment that enables them to produce high-performing, compliant components that meet the most demanding safety requirements.

Innolite’s diamond and alignment turning technologies bring unique advantages to optical and precision components in aerospace, such as lenses and laser alignment systems. Their dynamic alignment turning method achieves tilt tolerances below 12 arcseconds and shift tolerances under 1µm, ensuring optimal performance for avionics and sensor systems. This level of precision is critical for applications like infrared optics and laser guidance systems, where even minor deviations can compromise functionality.

Collectively, these high-precision CNC solutions from Rainford Precision empower the aerospace industry to innovate with confidence, producing lighter, stronger, and more accurate and reliable components while reducing manufacturing costs and lead times. By leveraging advanced automation, multi-axis capabilities, and cutting-edge tooling, these technologies address the sector’s evolving needs, from prototyping to full-scale production, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards.

What sets Rainford apart is our exclusive partnership with Kern and our ability to provide bespoke and standard cutting tools tailored to the aerospace sector. We understand the critical nature of aerospace manufacturing and are dedicated to delivering engineering solutions which meet the changing needs of the industry.
