Our team consists of personnel specialized in precision machining. Our long experience in the field, combined with constant updating of techniques and machinery, allows us to operate with state-of-the-art machining centers.
Precision aluminum machining
We use CAD/CAM modeling and programming software to perform precision aluminium machining, including components with complex geometries, 3D surfaces and machining operations on multiple faces.
Our production department is equipped with two 5-axis CNC machining centers and three 3-axis CNC machining centers dedicated to milling. This setup allows us to select the most suitable technology for each component and combine multiple operations within the same production cycle.
We machine different aluminum alloys, including ERGAL, ANTICORODAL and AVIONAL, performing milling, drilling, counterboring, countersinking, reaming, tapping, boring, facing and contouring operations.
Depending on the component specifications, we can also supply parts with aluminum surface treatments, including decorative anodizing, black anodizing, natural gray anodizing and hard anodizing.

Automated system for aluminum milling
STARMEC combines CNC machining with an automated system, using a robotic cell for automatic part loading connected to the machining center. The robot handles component loading and unloading, allowing the machine to continue the production cycle autonomously and reducing downtime between one machining operation and the next.
This configuration combines the precision of CNC aluminum milling with greater production continuity, making it particularly suitable for series production and orders involving repetitive machining operations.
Automation does not replace process control: programming, setup, dimensional inspection and supervision remain in the hands of our technical staff, while the robotic system handles component movement throughout the production cycle.

PRECISION MACHINING TO DRAWING
Custom-designed aluminum machining
STARMEC specializes in aluminum machining for the production of custom parts and components according to customer drawings. We start from the customer’s technical specifications to define the most suitable production cycle, selecting machines, tools and machining methods according to the alloy, part geometry, required tolerances and production quantities.
Our production department performs:
- CNC milling
- Drilling
- Counterboring
- Countersinking
- Reaming
- Boring
- Tapping
- Facing
- Contouring
combining multiple operations on the same part whenever required. Our 3-axis and 5-axis machining centers allow us to manufacture both relatively simple components and more complex parts featuring multi-face machining and intricate geometries.
From prototypes and small to medium production runs to repetitive production, each order is organized with the aim of achieving a stable, efficient process that meets the technical requirements of the project.
- Prototypes
- Small to medium production runs
- Repetitive production
CNC MILLING
3-axis and 5-axis CNC aluminum milling
Aluminum milling is one of STARMEC’s core manufacturing capabilities. We have two 5-axis CNC machining centers and three 3-axis machining centers dedicated to milling, enabling us to manufacture mechanical components from solid material as well as carry out finishing operations on pre-machined components.
The 3-axis machining centers are used for operations such as facing, contour milling, pocketing, slotting, drilling, and machining of seats and bores. The 5-axis machining centers, on the other hand, allow multiple surfaces of a component to be machined with fewer repositioning operations, providing greater flexibility when manufacturing complex aluminum components.
Depending on the project requirements, we can also integrate milling, drilling, counterboring, countersinking, reaming, and tapping within the same machining cycle. This reduces the number of transfers between different operations while maintaining tight control over the component’s geometric references.
We can machine components up to approximately 500 × 500 × 400 mm and, where applicable, achieve dimensional tolerances in the range of ±0.02 mm with 5-axis machining.
With our 3-axis machining centers, we can manufacture components up to 1000 mm in length and 300 mm in width.
Aluminum milling, drilling and complementary machining operations
A mechanical component rarely requires just a single operation, which is why our company can integrate different aluminum machining processes within the same production cycle.
Milling
Mechanical components from solid material and finishing operations on pre-machined components.
Drilling
To produce the holes specified in the design.
Counterboring
To create cylindrical recesses and bearing surfaces.
Countersinking
For the preparation of conical seats.
Reaming
When a hole requires a more precise finishing operation.
Tapping
For the production of threads.
Facing
To define surfaces according to the dimensions specified in the technical drawing.
Contour milling
To define profiles according to the dimensions specified in the technical drawing.
This capability allows us to manage the component through multiple machining stages and provide our customers with a single point of contact for the complete manufacturing of the component.
Alloys
Aluminum machining on different alloys
Not all aluminum alloys are machined in the same way. Mechanical properties, machinability and the final application of the component vary according to the alloy and must therefore be taken into account when defining the production cycle.
STARMEC performs machining on different aluminum alloys, including ERGAL, ANTICORODAL and AVIONAL, adapting tools and machining parameters to the specific characteristics of the material.
The alloys we machine also include materials belonging to the 7000, 6000, 5000 and 2000 series, such as EN AW-7075, EN AW-6082, PERALUMAN 5083 and 2017A, used in the production of mechanical components and industrial parts requiring different combinations of strength, weight and machinability.
FINISHING
Aluminum surface treatments
When a component needs to be supplied with a complete finish, STARMEC can integrate aluminum machining with the management of the main aluminum surface treatments.
Depending on the requirements of the project, we can supply components with decorative anodizing, natural grey anodizing, black anodizing, and hard anodizing. This allows customers to rely on a single partner for both the mechanical manufacturing and the management of subsequent surface treatment processes.
Decorative anodizing can be selected when both surface protection and an attractive aesthetic finish are required, while hard anodizing is used to provide the surface with properties suitable for components subjected to higher levels of wear and stress.
Quality
Dimensional inspection and component precision
Every precision aluminum machining operation must result in a component that complies with the technical drawing. For this reason, dimensional inspection is carried out throughout the different stages of production.
We use certified measuring instruments to verify part dimensions and specifications. Depending on the geometry and characteristics of the component, micrometers, height gauges and other dedicated inspection instruments may also be used.
STARMEC also operates according to an ISO 9001 certified quality management system, integrating inspection and traceability into the organization of the production process.
Sectors
Aluminum machining for industrial applications
We manufacture custom aluminum mechanical components to drawing for a wide range of industrial applications. Our machining capabilities serve sectors including industrial automation, mechanical engineering, packaging, special-purpose machinery, automotive, technical components and design.
We do not offer a one-size-fits-all machining solution: each part is evaluated according to its intended function, the specified material, required tolerances, production volume and any subsequent machining or finishing operations.
