We Are Hiring

Aerospace projects demand lightweight, stable, and dimensionally accurate plastic components that perform under intense conditions. Devices need to handle vibration, vacuum, temperature extremes, and tight safety margins without compromise. Controlled Fluidics engineers use their extensive experience to design and machine custom plastic parts and bonded manifolds that are already flying in satellites, deep space missions, and commercial aircraft systems. 

KEY BENEFITS FOR AEROSPACE TEAMS

We know that cheap parts won't work for your mission. What all do you get from us?

  • Custom plastic manifolds and components for fuel, thermal management, avionics cooling, and fluid control.
  • Design support from experienced engineers with deep knowledge in aerospace loads, interfaces, and certification paths.
  • Fast access to high-performance plastics and repeatable machining for prototype to production.

QUALITY, COMPLIANCE, & RELIABILITY

Aerospace programs require controlled processes, documented traceability, and repeatable quality. Controlled Fluidics operates with stringent quality control and inspection procedures tailored to aerospace and high‑reliability markets. Materials, machining parameters, and bonded assemblies are validated to meet demanding performance, cleanliness, and reliability expectations for flight hardware.

We are ISO 9001:2015 registered and adhere to the following standards:

  • ANSI/ASQ Z 1.4
  • ANSI/NCSL Z 540-1-1994

MATERIALS, PROCESSES, & TOLERANCES

Controlled Fluidics machines and bonds a wide range of aerospace‑grade plastics including PEEK,  PEI (Ultem), PTFE, acrylic, polycarbonate, and other  high‑performance polymers selected for strength, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low outgassing. Tight-tolerance CNC machining, micromachining, and precision bonded manifolds support compact, complex aerospace assemblies where leak-tight performance and dimensional stability are critical. We meticulously perform:

  • CNC machining of high‑performance plastics for aerospace housings, brackets, and manifolds.
  • Micromachining for compact fluidic channels and high‑density manifolds.
  • Precision plastic bonding for multi‑layer fluidic manifolds and integrated assemblies.
  • Typical tolerances suitable for aerospace instrumentation and critical fluid paths (specify numeric ranges if you can disclose them)
