Integral manufacturing solutions for the very best motor sport components

DMG Mori has been familiar with the challenges of motor sports for many years now. They are indeed very similar to those of other key industries. It is also a question of one-hundredth of a millimetre in the aerospace and medical technology fields and short throughput times are essential in the automotive industry. DMG Mori meets these demands here, as it does in motor sport, with state-of-the-art milling machines and turn-mill centres as elements of integral manufacturing concepts.

A key building block in this concept is the DMG Mori process chain. This includes designing and programming as well as a subsequent 1:1 simulation of the NC program in the DMG Mori Virtual Machine. The latter has the same significance as the racing simulator has for the drivers. It enables a 1:1 simulation of the actual machining on the PC – including machine kinematics and real control. This means the machining process can be aligned exactly with the requirements of the individual component in advance, therefore continuously reducing “lap times”. As components for the Porsche 919 Hybrid are cut from the solid, the implementation of the milling strategy takes on a key role. On the one hand the necessary program strategy is available in the process chain for every task, no matter how complex, and on the other the virtual machine checks 100% for feasibility and the absence of collisions. As a result, rejects and additional costs are a thing of the past.

Porsche and DMG Mori will be making history in the upcoming races in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The aim: to achieve the hat trick in this season. Motor sport expertise and manufacturing competence paired with a joint commitment make the two cooperative partners a virtually unbeatable team - now in the fourth year of their cooperation.
