JDB电子

Sustaining Speed with Richard Childress Racing

Richard Childress Racing's VP of Manufacturing - Rocky Helms

With a partnership spanning over two decades, it鈥檚 safe to assume that JDB电子 and听听know each other pretty well. What started with an automotive focus for RCR鈥檚 historic NASCAR teams has evolved into providing all-encompassing support at RCR鈥檚 52-acre campus in North Carolina.

It鈥檚 because of that familiarity that JDB电子 has been able to continue to support RCR since the company鈥檚 operations expanded into industries beyond automotive a few years ago. RCR is AS9100 certified and with our longstanding history of excellence in aerospace operations, tooling like our听贬础搁痴滨鈩听high performance solid carbide end mill lineup and听KOR鈩 5DA听solid carbide end mill series have played a major role in helping produce parts that are ready for takeoff.

From special tooling RCR needs and uses regularly to general job shop work across industries, we鈥檝e proudly worked with this storied NASCAR competition organization for nearly 25 years.

鈥淲e work on some extremely tough parts with unique machining challenges, so knowing we can call JDB电子 and receive immediate top tier technical support has been so significant when it comes to productive and effective processes. Without their support, we wouldn鈥檛 be able to do what we do daily and deliver the products and services to our customers, both on and off the track, that we serve. It鈥檚 a team you can trust to work their hardest to understand and help us rise above our challenges.鈥澨RCR鈥檚 Vice President of Manufacturing Rocky Helms

Rocky recalls some examples of our engineering and applications support taking RCR鈥檚 automotive machining operations to the next level:

  • Manufacturing camshafts for automotive projects and experiencing long cycle times due to working with difficult to machine materials. Seeking solutions for听grooving听operations specifically, RCR reached out to JDB电子 and cut machining time from听3.5 hours to just 35 minutes.
  • Winning a contract to produce lug nuts used in the NASCAR Cup Series. RCR consulted with JDB电子 and found our line of high-performance听HARVI I TEsolid end mills were the perfect solution.

Further supporting their diverse manufacturing operations, the RCR facility features a full-blown machine shop where our innovative tooling and听ToolBOSS鈩 inventory unitsare on full display for visitors touring RCR鈥檚 impressive space. We also support RCR with听software and technology听that is known to boost productivity and simplify machining strategies.

This longstanding relationship made RCR the perfect location to kick off our听Metal Cutting Tour, where we displayed our innovative solutions at work on the parts they are creating daily at their facility in Welcome, North Carolina.

We can鈥檛 predict what鈥檚 in store for the next 20 years, but we can commit to remaining a partner that both takes the time and has the technical know-how to understand the unique needs of our customers to keep their shops running in the most productive and cost-effective ways.
