Customised front panels and signage for aerospace applications
Whether for cockpits, test systems or prototypes – components for the aerospace industry must meet the highest standards. We manufacture precision front panels, enclosures and milled parts from anodized aluminium that impress both technically and visually. Tailor-made, durable and fully documented – even in small production runs.

Typical applications:
  • Front panels for cockpit displays – precisely manufactured, glare-free marking
  • Interface panels and control consoles – ready for installation, vibration-resistant
  • Enclosure components for test and measurement systems – precisely milled, already in production quality
  • Nameplates and serial identification – abrasion-resistant, high-contrast and permanently legible
  • Custom-milled components for prototypes – precisely machined, durable and thermally stable
  • Development prototypes and pre-series parts – also available in small batches with consistently precise manufacturing
Why Schaeffer AG?
Aerospace engineering demands precision – we deliver it, component by component
Our CNC production delivers precision aluminium components for cockpits, test systems and prototypes – dimensionally accurate, durable and with a highly resilient surface finish. We provide solutions that perform reliably under extreme conditions, featuring clear labelling and robust manufacturing quality.
Typical industry challenges:
  • Tight tolerances and high dimensional accuracy requirements
  • Exposure to vibration, heat, and UV radiation
  • Legibility even in low-light conditions
  • Small series with production-level precision and repeatability
Our response:
Our milled parts made from anodized aluminium meet the highest standards of dimensional accuracy, durability and visual quality. Markings produced by UV printing or engraving are abrasion-resistant, high in contrast, and can also be applied as white print on dark surfaces. Production starts from a quantity of just one – ideal for test assemblies, prototypes or pre-series components.
