Case Study
Aircraft Components Machined to the Highest Precision
Titanium CNC Machining Case Study
About 10 years ago a hurricane blew through Florida, in the wake of its disaster a popular CNC Machine Shop was destroyed. Following this event, Owens was contacted by one of this company’s customers. They were looking for a titanium machined component resembling a book end, their only requirement being the part had to be absolutely perfect.
After manufacturing our first 300 parts for this client, they contacted us again to machine a different component. Mark, our VP of Operations, visited the customer and met with one of their engineers and buyers. He learned the company was just starting up, but would offer components typically outlined with five year requirements, many of which were aluminum or titanium sub-assemblies.
Owens Industries took on the new work and not long after discovered the company was purchased by one of the largest after-market aircraft companies in the industry. Today Owens manufactures over 15 different part numbers for them, and adds one to two new parts every year.
