CNC Machined Avionics Enclosures for Aerospace Teams
Avionics teams in Chicago need enclosures that are precise, shielded, and well-documented. We machine aluminum LRU boxes, radio housings, and connector plates with tight EMI gasket grooves and port cutouts. AS9100D-aligned documentation on every order.
Avionics-Grade Aluminum
Al 6061/7075 with Alodine and anodize finish options.
EMI Features
Precise EMI gasket grooves and tight connector cutouts to ±0.001".
AS9100D Docs
Inspection reports and material certs for your avionics program.
Aerospace Command Center of the Midwest
Chicago is Boeing's global headquarters city with deep aerospace roots — Collins Aerospace maintains major avionics and landing gear operations in nearby Rockford, Ducommun machines aerostructures across the metro, and a dense network of Tier 2 suppliers feeds Midwest engine and airframe programs. O'Hare's massive MRO ecosystem adds steady aftermarket demand.
RivCut serves Chicago-area aerospace suppliers with AS9100-quality machining, full material traceability, and the fast turns your Boeing or Collins program timelines demand.
