Industries We Serve

Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing

Tight-tolerance machined, spun and fabricated components for aircraft, defence equipment and ground-support systems, built to your drawing from prototype through production.

Sector Overview

Where Precision and Paperwork Both Matter

Aerospace and defence programs run on controlled drawings, specified materials and documented inspection. Parts are often low-volume, long-lifecycle and unforgiving of surprises, so a supplier that can machine, form, weld and assemble under one roof means fewer hand-offs and fewer places for a part to go wrong.

HCI Advanced Manufacturing combines the capabilities of Accu-Tech, Hydra-Matic Machine & Pumps and Cyl-Tech Manufacturing, part of the Heritage Casting and Ironworks group, in business since 1978.

One Partner, Several Processes

Precision turning, milling, metal spinning, fabrication, hydraulic components, tooling and assembly. One drawing package, one conversation.

Know Before You Quote

What Defence & Aerospace Buyers Typically Ask For

Drawing & revision control Material certification & traceability Dimensional inspection reports First-article inspection Plating, anodizing, heat treat & coatings Export-control & controlled-goods requirements

Requirements differ from program to program. Tell us what your drawing or contract calls for when you reach out, and we will confirm in writing what we can support before you commit.

Potential Applications

Where Our Parts Go

Typical component families for aerospace and defence customers. Suitability depends on material, geometry, tolerance and volume.

01 / Airframe & Mechanisms

Fittings, Bushings, Pins & Spacers

Small precision parts for structures, linkages and moving assemblies.

02 / Hydraulics & Fluid

Manifolds, Fittings & Pump Components

Fluid-power parts machined to specification, drawing on our hydraulic and pump experience.

03 / Ground Support

Fixtures, Stands & Protective Covers

Test fixtures, handling equipment and covers that support aircraft and defence equipment on the ground.

04 / Electronics & Comms

Enclosures, Chassis & Housings

Formed and machined housings for electronic, communications and sensing equipment.

05 / Rotational Forms

Spun Domes, Cones & Shrouds

Hollow, rotationally symmetric shapes produced by CNC metal spinning.

06 / Development

Prototypes & Short Runs

Development parts and small lots so designs can be proven before volume production.

Manufacturing Capabilities

The Processes Behind These Parts

Swiss & CNC Turning

Precision shafts, pins, bushings and other turned components in small and mid-size diameters.

CNC Milling

Housings, manifold blocks, brackets and prismatic parts with machined features held to drawing tolerances.

CNC Metal Spinning

Domes, cones, shrouds and other hollow rotational forms without the cost of deep-draw tooling.

Forming, Fabrication & Welding

Sheet-metal enclosures, welded frames and structural mounts.

Hydraulic & Pump Components

Fluid-power parts and assemblies, backed by Hydra-Matic's hydraulic and pump experience.

Tooling, Fixtures & Assembly

Custom jigs and fixtures, plus mechanical sub-assemblies built and checked together.

Our Approach

How We Review an Aerospace or Defence Project

01. Drawing & Spec Review

We check the drawing, revision level, material call-outs, tolerances and quantities.

02. Process Plan

We match the part to the right process, or combination of processes, in our shop.

03. Inspection & Documentation

We confirm how the part will be measured and what documentation you need with it.

04. Quote & Delivery

You get a clear scope, timeline and next steps, with no surprises on what is or is not supported.
