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.

CAD/CAM grinding in practice: From digital twin to ready-to-use special tool

, ,

In machining, nothing works without the right tool. If you want to manufacture a component, you need a cutting tool that is suitable for the task. We rely on modern CAD/CAM systems right from the planning stage – in particular CAD/CAM grinding – to make processes more efficient and easier to plan. The digital process chain has long been a reality at our HAM Performance Center (HPC) too.

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.
