Industries we serve
RAF serves a variety of industries and offers a program that produces custom components with very short lead times.
RAF manufactures parts for several government and defense agencies. Many of these agencies require a Commercial and Government Entity Code, or CAGE Code, which identified a specific supplier and location.
RAF鈥檚 Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers is FSCM (CAGE) 55566.
Our Manufacturing Services
-
Components offers prototypes or sample parts for a variety of custom components including springs, fasteners, bellows, couplings, and other precision metal parts. We also offer rapid prototyping for select components, with shipping in as little as one week.
-
CNC machining is a manufacturing process where computer software is used to control complex tools or machinery without the need for manual operations. Some examples of CNC machining services we offer include milling, turning, micromachining, metal stamping and forming (including fourslide technology), and wire forming and wire rolling.
-
MillingMilling is accomplished using computerized controls to operate motorized cutting tools.
-
TurningThe manufacturing process known as CNC turning involves feeding metal bars into a machine and applying one or several tools that gradually shape the material into the desired form. Examples of capabilities that our precision turning centers have include Swiss lathe machining, threading, tapping, cross drilling, end or side milling, and broaching.
-
DrillingDrilling is the process of cutting one or several holes into a material using a machine equipped with a drill bit.
-
We perform precision sharpening and CNC grinding services including electrochemical grinding in the production or finishing phase as needed for your intended application.
-
AnodizingThis is a passivation process used to thicken the natural oxide layer on the external surface of metal components. This offers added protection for aluminum alloys, titanium, zinc, and other metals.
-
Coating is used most often to resist environmental factors like corrosion or embrittlement.
-
Outside of hardening and tempering, we offer a variety of other heat treatment options either in-house or through outside services to ensure your desired ranges are reached for cycle-life, toughness, and resistance to environmental forces.
-
PlatingPlating is a manufacturing process where a thin coating is applied to a component鈥檚 surface through chemicals or electric current (electroplating).
-
Hardening & TemperingHardening and tempering produce required hardness ratios in metals like steel or stainless steel to ensure desired performance. Harding, as well as case hardening, and straight hardening, involves heating the metal and then cooling it to transform its standard properties, while tempering is a process of applying low-temperature heat treatments, generally after a hardening process has been completed.
-

-
Do you need specialized packaging? We work with your teams to determine the best way to build and package your products to ensure efficient assembly with your existing components.
-
Production or machine tooling is the development of a specialized production process for a new part or product.
-
Optimize your designs to reduce cost, improve performance, and accelerate time to market.
-
provides quick turn service or Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery to ensure that you get the products you need when and where you need them. From rapid prototyping to next-day shipping on in-stock items, we deliver with speed and efficiency.
