Formula 1 & Motorsport Machining
Formula 1, Automotive & Motorsport Machining
Working consistently for industries such as the oil and gas sector – producing components destined for highly stressed environments, and the aerospace sector where quality is everything and component failure is not an option, Di-Spark are also eminent in high-end motorsport machining, producing components and sub-assemblies for a number of well known and highly performing Formula 1 teams. Using the latest, automated, CNC five axis milling centres, with automated and robotic tool change capability, running around the clock, Di-Spark are a smart choice for motorsport machining and the manufacture of highly stressed motor-racing parts and components. Combine this with our state of the art automated mill-turn machining, large five axis machining, wire erosion and spark erosion electrical discharge machining, and the possibilities are endless.
Motorsport Machining With Aerospace Methodology
Motorsport machining has – for sometime borrowed methodology from precision aerospace engineering, with Formula 1 at the pinnacle of this innovation drive. High end precision machining is a considerable commitment, and Di-Spark approach this commitment with AS9100 revision C certification, recognised globally within aerospace -looking at quality management systems (QMS) supply chain management, accountability and consistency. As a company we embrace the ‘Investors in People’ framework and are signatories to the SC21 Supply Chain Initiative, which streamlines supply chain red tape within a lean manufacturing framework and ensures high quality output.
Motorsport Machining With Hardened & Exotic Materials
Innovation is a 3 dimensional process, and motorsport machining requires knowledge of hardened and exotic materials, such as aerospace alloys, titanium alloys, composites, hardened and heat-treated materials and heat-resistant materials. As with aerospace and satellite manufacture, the name of the game is to ‘add lightness’ whilst retaining a high degree of strength and durability. The latest five axis machining centres, working alongside mill-turn and electrical discharge machining capability dictate that, by implementing intelligent production management, any material can be handled and machined without damage to the integrity of the material, within a lean manufacturing framework and achieving a high level of customer satisfaction.
