Environmental Considerations in Aerospace Machining: What Does Roberson Machine Company Provide?
Energy-Efficient Practices
In our never-ending pursuit of sustainable aerospace machining, energy efficiency takes center stage in our shop. Using advanced technologies and machinery that optimize energy consumption contributes to reducing the overall carbon footprint. This is at the core of our aerospace machining services, as well as all of our machining methods. We use energy-efficient CNC machines and are constantly implementing smart manufacturing processes, like our robotic machine tending and 3D printing.
Eco-Friendly Machine Coolants
Coolants play a crucial role in aerospace machining, ensuring machine and tool longevity, as well as maintaining precision. But some traditional coolants produce mists that, while often invisible to the naked eye, can cause occupational dermatoses and other severe health conditions. We use only environmentally friendly cooling options in our machines and throughout our shop. This reduces the ecological impact and guarantees a safer working environment.

Materials Matter
From high-strength alloys and titanium to composites and high-performance plastics, aerospace machining involves working with a diverse range of materials and workpieces. We always choose sustainable material alternatives that do not compromise on performance or precision.
Waste Reduction
Precision machining at Roberson Machine Company inevitably generates waste, but we do whatever it takes to minimize our environmental impact. Our stringent internal standards include:
- Adopting lean manufacturing principles
- Implementing efficient recycling programs for our metal shavings, coolants, and other byproducts
- Moving toward a circular economy practice
Life Cycle Assessments
We conduct thorough life cycle assessments (LCAs) from initial prototypes to end-of-life considerations. This approach evaluates the environmental impact at every stage of a component’s life, helping identify areas for improvement, sustainability, and innovation. LCAs guide every party’s decision-making toward more sustainable choices in materials, processes, and disposal methods.
