Space and Satellite 5-Axis Milling
At Rotec Aerospace, we specialise in high-precision 5-axis CNC milling for the space and satellite industry, delivering complex, mission-critical components with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Our advanced machining capability is purpose-built for the demands of aerospace applications where performance, reliability, and tight tolerances are non-negotiable.
Using state-of-the-art multi-axis machining centres, we manufacture intricate geometries from high-performance materials including aluminium alloys, titanium, stainless steels, and specialist aerospace-grade materials. Our capability allows us to produce highly complex satellite structures, brackets, housings, and precision components in a single set-up—reducing lead times while maintaining absolute dimensional integrity.
We understand the stringent requirements of the space sector, including full traceability, quality assurance, and compliance with aerospace standards. Every component is produced under tightly controlled processes, supported by rigorous inspection using advanced metrology systems to ensure full conformance to customer specifications.
From prototype development through to low- and medium-volume production, Rotec Aerospace supports leading-edge space programmes with precision engineering that performs beyond Earth’s atmosphere
Satellite & CubeSat Component Solutions | Value Added Services
We understand the specific requirements of the satellite and CubeSat industry, where precision, reliability, and strict material control are essential for mission success. Alongside our advanced machining capability, we support complete spacecraft hardware solutions including shields, trays, solar array structures, and precision brackets. We also offer value-added services such as FIP gasket application for sealing and protection, laser marking for full traceability, heat pipe integration for thermal management, and MAP paint finishing where required. This integrated approach enables us to deliver fully prepared, space-ready components that meet the demanding standards of modern satellite systems.

Our use of sliding head lathes ensures that cycle times and costs are significantly reduced. Achieving up to 39 machining positions with 8 axes, often a component can be completed in one single set-up, improving efficiencies.
Our team continues to refresh our fleet of machines, investing significantly in our Turning and Mill/Turn technology. This allows us to remain ahead of the game, providing a tailored service and solution to our customers that is hard to match within the industry.
We continue to innovate, refining our 5 axis CNC machining services for maximum output at reduced time and cost. The 5 axis provides you with the power and precision for myriad uses, maintaining accuracy and delivering consistently.
CMM inspection is another service Rotec offers to boost the accuracy and consistency of manufacturing processes. It involved precision CMM inspection services that takes CAD models and 2D drawing formats and provides a detailed report tailored to each client and process.
