Flow International Corporation has announced a new partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing, providing its waterjet technology to support the NASCAR team in 2019 and beyond.
“At this level of competition, precision is everything,” says Mark Bringle, technical partner activation manager of Joe Gibbs Racing. “This machine is the perfect combination of reliability, accuracy, and speed we need to produce the parts that keep our cars at peak performance. This is a huge opportunity for us.”
The North Carolina-based Joe Gibbs Racing – involved in the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series and Xfinity Series – has added a Mach 500 4020 with a Dynamic XD cutting head and HyperJet Pump to their production operations at their Huntersville facility. With high- precision, multi-axis cutting capabilities, the addition will expand the team’s ability to design and manufacture custom performance parts necessary to maintain a competitive edge on the track.
