The U.S. Aerospace industry is racing ahead on four fronts—innovation, defense, sustainability, and the commercialization of space. Behind those headlines is the unglamorous hero: the machine tool. As aircraft, spacecraft, and defense platforms get more complex and materials get tougher, precision machining becomes mission-critical. At Lagun Engineering, we see machine tools as the foundation that turns design intent into flight-ready parts.
The Industry
Micron-level tolerances and complex geometries are now standard across airframe structures, engine housings, landing gear, turbine blades, drones, and hypersonics. Materials like titanium, Inconel, carbon-fiber composites, and Al-Li demand rigid constructions, high-torque spindles, thermal stability, and adaptive controls—plus digital layers like AI toolpath optimization and real-time QC. Domestic engineering and support are mission-critical to keep aerospace and defense supply chains resilient.
Lagun Maherholding
Lagun Maherholding (Spain) delivers bed mills and traveling-column machines for large, high-precision work: bulkheads, wing ribs, landing-gear supports, fixtures, and satellite/drone components. We customize around your part—floor plates, integrated rotary (horizontal/vertical), five-axis heads with automatic head changers, large tool magazines, and your preferred control (Siemens, Heidenhain, Fanuc). Our consultative process engineers faster, more stable paths to tolerance and cycle time.
Giuseppe Giana
For extreme diameters and lengths, Giuseppe Giana CNC lathes (represented by Lagun in the U.S.) bring four-guideway and multi-process rigidity. They excel at turbine shafts, rocket hardware, and deep-hole boring. Multitasking configurations—mill/turn/drill/thread in one setup—slash changeovers, reduce risk, and boost throughput on complex aerospace components.
Bermaq
Bermaq high-speed multi-axis solutions (including the SGA) are tuned for aluminum, titanium, and composites—ideal for structural and composite aerospace parts. Think rapid removal rates with precision surface finish where lightweighting and laminate integrity matter most.
Republic Lagun CNC
Built and supported in the U.S., Republic Lagun CNC rounds out the portfolio with production-ready CNC platforms and toolroom essentials—manual/CNC mills, lathes, and grinders—for fixtures, prototypes, and MRO. Our California operation includes a UL 508A panel shop and U.S. engineering/service, giving primes, tiers, and research labs immediate support. Ready to machine smarter, faster, and tighter? Lagun Engineering will engineer the solution.
From prototype to low-to-mid volume production, Lagun Engineering brings the machines, the integration, and the U.S. support to keep aerospace moving—faster, tighter, and smarter. Whether it’s a traveling column for large airframe structures, a multi-process lathe for rocket hardware, or a high-speed composite mill, we engineer the right platform around your part and process. Let’s turn your tolerance stack, cycle time, and uptime targets into a plan—talk with our engineers and we’ll spec the solution.
