FEATURED INDUSTRY
SPACE INDUSTRY MACHINING
We are proud to have been a part of several of our nation’s space programs. Nowhere does precision matter as much as it does in space. In knowing this, Sonic Aerospace was chosen as a key supplier for the Gateway and Artemis Space Programs.
Sonic is a Key Supplier for Gateway and Artemis Space Programs
NASA’s effort to develop and deploy a small space station in orbit around the moon now has its own logo.
The agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston revealed the Gateway program logo in an update to its employee online newsletter on Tuesday (Sept. 17). The Gateway, which is sometimes referred to as the Lunar Gateway, is a component of NASA’s Artemis program, which is focused on returning American astronauts including the first woman to the moon by 2024 before pushing onwards to Mars.
In Greek mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the moon — and the twin sister of Apollo. How perfectly fitting, then, that NASA has chosen Artemis as the name of its mission to land the first woman on the moon. First announced in 2019, the Artemis program now has an official road map, released by NASA, and it sure is an ambitious one.
Need High Volume Machining? Short Runs? No Problem!
Our flexibility as a machine shop is one of our great strengths. Whether you need an individual prototype machined, or have a production run of machined parts, we can deliver. We’re built for efficiency and have the ability to run lights out for larger production runs.

Precision Grinding
ID/OD Grinding. When only the best finish or tight tolerance will do!
With our precision grinding services, we can help you achieve extremely fine surface finishes an/or close tolerances. Common grinding applications include: Shafts, rollers, mandrels and contour grinding. Die sharpening is another common use for grinding as it allows us to produce a sharp edge. This is a common need for medical industry machining.

We can help you bridge the gap from an idea to a successful production run. Our knowledge and understanding of machining, part design, materials and manufacturing has led to countless successes for companies in need of prototyping services or assistance with New Product Introduction (NPI).
Castings offer many benefits, including speeding up time to market. However, one of the tradeoffs with castings is accuracy. Many castings require final machining in order to meet tolerance requirements or acceptable surface finishes. This is where we come in. We can take your castings, and bring them in line with your expectations/blueprint tolerances.
When it comes to machined parts, sometimes manual/human intervention is the best answer. For example, if your machined part isn’t extremely complex it can often be quicker and less expensive to build your parts on a manual mill or lathe. One thing you’ll find with Sonic Aerospace is we always operate with our customers’ best interest at hand. If we can save you money and time, that’s what we’re going to recommend!
Development of repairs and tooling for gas turbine engine parts.
If you need a predictable flow of machined parts, we can build, store and ship your machined parts so you always receive them right when you need them.
Machining projects involve a lot of moving parts (literally). High volume machining presents another set of challenges. From tooling, to coolant management, material procurement, project management, staffing and machining capabilities we’re well equipped to handle jobs ranging from small to higher volumes of machined parts.
Once your components are machined to your specifications, we can help to meticulously compile them into a kit so you don’t have to. With our kitting services we can save you both time and money.
Often times, machined parts require additional working by our customers. There are a wide range of options, but a few common secondary machining operations include plating, anodizing, brazing, powder coating, deburring, painting, passivation, heat treating, or part marking. Whatever your requirements, we can handle them all for you. One purchase order. One point of contact.
Using advanced CAD/CAM software we provide early stage concept design, part engineering and mechanical design of parts and products.
Whether a company went out of business or a product goes end of life, sometimes we need to deconstruct individual components that are part of a larger product. With our reverse engineering services we’re able to capture detailed information about a part’s design, and thereby recreate it. We can help you regain part data with our reverse engineering services.
Wondering if your part will meet your quality, safety, reliability or performance standards? Is your material selection up to the task? We’ll help you remove the guesswork. With our Non-Destructive Testing we’ll evaluate critical variables, and make necessary recommendations to help you ensure part/product success.
Are you in need of custom tooling, fixturing or workholding solutions? This is a passion of ours, and we use our own tooling and fixturing every day at Sonic Engineering.
With consignment inventory, we own the parts inventory until your machined parts ship. Our customers appreciate reduced inventory holding costs, and predictable parts delivery with our consignment inventory options. Ask us for more details about this.
Yes, we’re a Phoenix machine shop but our reach is nationwide. Multiple transit options mean quick, efficient machined parts delivery no matter your location. Ready for a better option? Reach out to us today!
