There’s absolutely no room for error with the precision parts that MSP Manufacturing in Bloomington, Ind., makes for the aviation industry—including cases and clamps that hold a plane’s instruments securely in the cockpit, cooling vents for avionics, and switch guards to prevent pilots accidentally shutting down engines or, in fighter jets, launching missiles.
To produce those crucial parts with sub-millimeter precision, MSP has long used CNC (computer numerical control) machines. These machines use mills, lathes, and drills to cut, shape, and bore metal to the exact specifications set by a human operator.
But those highly trained operators are in short supply in the United States, with an aging industrial workforce and few younger workers with the necessary skills. And this is maddeningly time-consuming work: Programming one part into a CNC machine can take from an hour and a half to an entire day, says Johnny Goode, MSP’s president and chief operating officer
