  CNC MACHINING

 

Lightning utilizes Computer Numerical Controlled Systems for the programming, fixturing, machining and inspection of all its manufactured parts. While Lightning's capabilities span all industry types, special emphasis is on aircraft and ground support component parts made from aluminum, steel, stainless steel and composites. Billet, forgings and casting are machined to precision tolerances using high-end CAD/CAM drawing systems and modern machining centers to insure the we offer the highest quality parts at the most competitive prices on the market.

Lightning's key staff boasts over twenty years experience in CAD/CAM programming and the machining of aircraft parts, which guarantees Lightning the confidence and know how to accomplish even the most intricate of jobs, and guarantee they are completed on time and with the precision and appearance the customer desires.
