State-of-the-Art Machining for Precision Simulated Avionics

At Simtek, high-fidelity simulated avionics start with high-precision parts—and that begins in our state-of-the-art machine shop.

Our in-house machining capability combines modern CNC equipment with proven conventional machinery, giving us the flexibility and accuracy needed to support complex simulator hardware across multiple platforms.

CNC Machining for Complex, High-Accuracy Components

Our CNC equipment allows us to:

• Produce tight-tolerance components for panels, bezels, brackets, and housings

• Repeat parts consistently across production runs

• Quickly turn engineering models into ready-to-assemble hardware

With CNC technology in-house, we can support intricate geometries and critical alignments that high-end simulated avionics demand.

Conventional Machinery for Flexibility and Fast Turnaround

Alongside our CNC capability, Simtek maintains a full suite of conventional machinery (mills, lathes, and support equipment). This lets us:

• Prototype and refine designs quickly

• Handle one-off or low-volume specialty parts

• Make adjustments and improvements on the fly as projects evolve

The blend of CNC and conventional methods means we’re not limited to one way of working—we choose the best approach for each part and program.

Precision Parts for High-Fidelity Hardware

Every precision part that leaves our machine shop is built with one purpose:to help your simulator look, feel, and operate like the real cockpit.

By keeping machining in-house, we maintain tighter control over:

• Quality and tolerances

• Lead times and schedules

• Consistency across entire panel and instrument suites

From first article to full production, our machine shop is a key reason Simtek can deliver reliable, high-fidelity simulated avionics for demanding training environments.

If your program requires precision-machined components for simulated control panels, displays, or instruments, Simtek’s state-of-the-art machine shop is ready to support your next build.
