Leading Brazilian race car manufacturer relies on cutting-edge technology for CNC programming

Established in 1990 as ZF Racing, the company is always in search of new technologies to increase safety and performance.  Partnering with Edgecam reseller SKA RenderWorks, the implementation of the system at JL Racing in July was an important milestone for a company that previously programmed its Romi CNC machines manually.

"Edgecam has introduced a great deal of agility to our production processes.  It has greatly improved the quality of our products and allowed the machining of more complex components where manual programming would have been impossible", explains Gustavo Lehto Gomes from the company's engineering department.

Since JL Racing started manufacturing for Kart until its involvement today with Nextel Stock Car Cup, Stock Car Light, Stock Car Jr and Formula Renault categories, the company has achieved a number of successes including winning the contract to maintain the V8 engines for Stock Car and Stock Car Light.

"In addition to increasing our capabilities, we feel more secure in the knowledge that with Edgecam we are now using the most advanced software to machine our parts, thereby preserving the quality and integrity of our equipment", says JL Racing products director José Giaffone.
