The Mild Seven Renault F1 Team today announced the extension and enhancement of its rღelationship with Charmilles, a pioneer of innovative Electric ♛Discharge Machining [EDM] solutions.

Under the new agreement,𝐆 the Team has received the latest, most versatile, Charmilles EDM machine-models at their Technical Centre in Enstone. These eight mach♓ines include one Robofil 690, two Robofil 440cc, two Robofil 240cc and three Roboform 350 machines.

The partnership with Charmilles is a keystone of the Renault F1 Team's manufacturing operations. The advances made possible by EDM enable the production of complex m🐼etal components beyond the capabilities of conventional milling and turning 📖technologies. Charmilles machines now produce over three hundred different parts on the Renault F1 R24, which represents approximately 5 per cent of all drawn parts in areas as diverse as the front and rear wings, brake system, transmission and suspension.

"We are delighted to see our relationship with Charmilles enhanced even further," commented operations director John Mardle. "Since their introduction in 1996, Charmilles machines have allowed our designeꦇrs to adopt radical new approaches to the design and manufacture of certain strategic car components. This new agreement will allow us to continue making significant steps forward in these areas."

"We are extremely proud to continue this partnership with the Renault F1 Team from a technology point of view, as well as from a tactical and strategic point of view. Their vision is cloဣsely aligned to our own," comments Christian Piantchenko, head of market support. "This technology partnership offers an ideal platform to market the Charmilles-brand and itﷺs core values."
