GROB G550 5-axis universal machining center on the LOMFG production floor
PRECISION MACHINING / AEROSPACE & DEFENSE

MACHINED FOR FLIGHT. BUILT FOR MISSION.

Advanced multi-axis CNC machining, multi-tasking turn & mill, and wire EDM under one roof — running unattended, around the clock, to the tolerances that mission-critical hardware demands.

WHY LIGHTS OUT

We run when most shops are dark.

Lights Out Manufacturing is a precision contract manufacturer engineered for the aerospace and defense supply chain. Our floor is purpose-built for unattended, multi-shift production — pallet pools, in-process probing, automated tool management, and tight process control let machines cut while the building sleeps.

The result for our customers: shorter lead times, repeatable quality on complex geometry, and capacity that scales without adding overhead.

CAPABILITIES

One floor.
Every operation that matters.

From prismatic structures to thin-wall housings to hardened EDM features — we own the full machining stack so your program never has to wait on a second source.

01

5-AXIS MILLING

Simultaneous 5-axis on DMG MORI and GROB platforms for complex aerostructure brackets, gearbox housings, and impeller-class geometry in titanium, Inconel, and aluminum.

02

TURN & MILL / MULTI-TASKING

Done-in-one production on the DMG MORI NTX, Tsugami Swiss, and NLX series — twin spindle, B-axis milling, and live tooling to eliminate setups and protect critical alignment.

03

HORIZONTAL MACHINING

NHX 4000 horizontal centers with 21-station pallet pool for hands-off, high-mix production runs that keep cutting through the night.

04

WIRE EDM

Mitsubishi MV1200R wire EDM for hardened-material features, tight-radius geometry, and surface finishes that finish-mill operations can't reach.

05

VERTICAL MACHINING

CMX 1100V and DMU 65 monoBLOCK for short-run prototypes and mid-volume production parts — fast turnarounds without sacrificing repeatability.

LIGHTS-OUT AUTOMATION

GROB RoboTrex 60-station pallet pool, robotic load/unload, in-process probing, and tool-life management — engineered to deliver continuous, unattended runtime through every shift.

WHEN EVERY MICRON COUNTS

Built for the parts that can't fail.

Flight hardware, weapons systems, and space-grade components have no margin for variance. Our process control — first-article inspection, in-process probing, CMM verification, and full material traceability — is engineered so the thousandth part is indistinguishable from the first.

  • First-article inspection & CMM verification
  • Full material traceability and certs on every shipment
  • Tight-tolerance hard milling & thin-wall titanium
  • Controlled documentation for FAI / PPAP packages
EXPLORE

More than chips on the floor.

World-class iron, an in-house simulation team, a portfolio of high-consequence programs, and an AS9100D quality system — the four pillars behind every shipment.
