Join Gleason's special online event to learn about the design, manufacturing, and inspection of e-drive gears. This four-day event, March 11–14, features one topic per day, addressing the specific requirements and challenges of e-drive transmission design, manufacture, and inspection, with particular attention to minimizing gear noise. The E-Drive Days are an excellent opportunity for newcomers and experts alike.

Gleason introduces the new online selector for its renowned LeCount Expanding Mandrels. Customers can now select required mandrels from Gleason’s standard range or request special LeCount mandrels with just a few clicks, including simple re-orders and certification services for mandrels in use.

The new Gear Trainer Program 2024 features new gear technology topics, including gear and transmission design, cutting and hard finishing processes, metrology and gear noise analysis, tools and workholding, as well as software updates and smart production systems. Gear Trainer Webinars take advantage of a mix of different media including live manufacturing and software demonstrations.

In KISSsoft's 2024 training schedule, you will find a great variety of training classes on selected KISSsoft modules and special topics including the latest software developments and trends in gear design, analysis, and manufacturing technology.

Gleason's Coniflex^® Pro Design and Manufacturing System for producing stronger, quieter, and more reliable e-drive differential gears in high volumes, for automotive, truck, bus and off-highway transmissions. It‘s the differential difference!

In KISSsoft, 97 (yes, ninety-seven!) plastics are available for calculation of cylindrical and crossed axis helical gears. The materials range from unreinforced POMs and PAs to high performance reinforced and internally lubricated materials. 

2023 is shaping up to be our planet’s hottest year on record, and the wind energy industry is feeling the heat. The GWEC (Global Wind Energy Council) says that the rate of wind turbine installations will need to quadruple globally by the end of the decade if we’re to achieve the IRENA’s (International Renewable Energy Agency) goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050—and keep the average annual temperature worldwide from increasing more than the predicted 1.5° C. Fortunately, “net zero” commitments are gathering global momentum. Before year’s end, total global windpower is expected to reach a historic milestone of 1 TW of installed capacity, eliminating 1.2 billion tons of CO2 annually, roughly the equivalent of all the carbon emissions of South America.

Gleason-Hurth Tooling GmbH in Munich and Gleason Cutting Tools GmbH in Eisenbach are merging their business activities. As of July 01, 2023, the two business units will operate under the one name "Gleason Cutting Tools GmbH."

In KISSsoft's scheduled trainings until December 2023, attendees will find introductory training courses, advanced training courses and special training courses on selected topics.

With the help of KISSsoft, the user can combine the FE method with analytical models when designing a high-performance gear or drivetrain.
The stiffness matrix of a gear body can be calculated accurately with KISSsoft using its advanced modeling capabilities for gear bodies. The effect of the gear body stiffness can be integrated in different KISSsoft calculations, like flank line modifications and loaded tooth contact analysis.
