JAI supports the development and production of complex aluminium components for demanding motorcycle applications. Our experience covers lightweight structural parts, welded components and parts requiring high levels of quality, durability and surface finish. By combining development support, prototyping, gravity die casting, machining, quality control and series production, we help our customers move from early concepts to stable production with a clear focus on manufacturability, performance and quality.

• Complex welded aluminium structures
• Frame and swingarm components
• Lightweight structural components
• Components requiring full X-ray inspection
• Parts requiring controlled heat treatment
• High-finish and corrosion-protected components
• Finished components ready for assembly

Reducing Risk Before Series Production

Projects often begin with prototypes used for testing and the commissioning of production equipment. This supports verification of functionality and helps prepare both the customer and JAI for series production. For optimal start-up and preparation for series production, JAI has used casting simulation with MagmaSoft for more than 20 years. This enables us to analyse flow, stress, porosity and other factors during gravity die casting. By identifying potential challenges early, we aim to reduce the risk of costly changes later in tooling and series production.

Consistent Quality for Safety-Critical Components

The components we supply to the motorcycle industry can be critical to the functionality and performance of our customers’ end products. Therefore, we work with stringent requirements for process control and documentation throughout production. Our quality assurance includes X-ray inspection and other control methods to help identify potential deviations before components leave JAI. JAI has been IATF 16949 certified since 2018, supporting documented processes and quality systems aligned with the requirements of demanding automotive supply chains. Our goal is to maintain consistent quality and identify potential issues as early as possible in the production process.

Lightweight Without Compromising Strength

Motorcycle components often need to combine low weight with high strength, durability and complex geometries. To meet these requirements, we use both tilt and stationary gravity die casting methods. This gives us the flexibility to produce complex components using sand cores while maintaining the required strength and production stability. To further strengthen the components, we perform heat treatment processes such as T6, T64 or customer-specific parameters, controlled through our automated heat treatment systems. This combination of casting expertise, complex core solutions and controlled heat treatment helps our customers achieve lightweight components without compromising durability and performance.
