Aerospace precision machining & assemblies
Specialized, low-volume CNC machining and build-to-print mechanical assemblies for aerospace and defense programs, from prototypes and first articles through qualified production.
What does Valor machine and build?
Valor machines and assembles specialized mechanical components for aerospace and defense programs in Grand Junction, Colorado. Engineering, machining, finishing, assembly and inspection are coordinated by one program team.
- Precision CNC machining
- Machined components produced to your drawing and program requirements, with inspection and traceability from prototypes through production.
- Build-to-print mechanical & electromechanical assemblies
- Assembly of mechanical parts and electrical connections, including torque-controlled assembly and hermetic sealing, with lot serialization and traceability.
- Brackets, fixtures and mechanical components
- Brackets, fixtures and mechanical assemblies manufactured to program requirements, from prototypes through qualified production.
- Finishing & treatments
- Type II and III anodizing, nickel and tin plating, passivation, powder coating, and mil-spec painting and marking. Qualified suppliers provide specialized heat treatment and coatings where required.
Built for low-volume, high-value work
Many aerospace programs need small lots of complex, tightly controlled parts rather than high-volume runs. Valor plans each build around the drawing, material and documentation requirements of the program.
- Prototypes & first articles
- Prototype builds and first articles to validate the design and the manufacturing process before production.
- Low-rate initial production
- Small production lots for programs moving from qualification into low-rate initial production (LRIP).
- Ongoing and sustainment production
- Repeat lots, spares and sustainment builds, with the same inspection records and traceability on every lot.
