JP Performance titanium rim: From a 400 kg titanium block to a high-end rim – our tools in action

, , ,

The JP Performance titanium rim is a globally unique project. A rim made of Grade 5 titanium – a material otherwise used in aerospace – was manufactured for the legendary Jaguar E-Type. It took over 160 hours of machining time to transform the 400 kg raw block into the finished 18 kg rim. The project began through a collaboration between Ladermanufaktur GmbH and JP Performance. We were directly involved as a tooling partner and played a decisive role in the manufacturing process with our high-performance titanium milling cutters.

How to achieve perfect aluminum machining: Aluminum machining live in the workshop!

, , , , ,

Aluminum is omnipresent. We encounter it in vehicle bodies, aircraft structures, machine components, packaging and in many industrial applications. The reasons for this are obvious: the material is light, malleable, corrosion-resistant and impresses with its excellent conductivity. However, it is precisely this diversity that poses particular challenges for manufacturers. This is because aluminum machining is anything but a matter of course.

Processing of modern materials: A firm grip on the exotic

Special tools for the aviation industry

They are the exotics among the materials: Materials such as CFRP, titanium, honeycomb or aluminium are convincing due to their high strength combined with low weight and are preferably used in the aerospace industry. However, they place high demands on machining. HAM has been dealing with this topic for years and has developed a multitude of powerful standard and special tools. They score with long tool life and achieve very good surface finishes…
