Instances of damage to discontinuous form ground and surface-hardened gears, especially of large scale, have recently increased. This may be attributed partly to a faulty grinding process with negative effects on the surface zones and the surface
properties.
Flexibility and productivity are the keywords in today’s grinding operations. Machines are becoming
more flexible as manufacturers look
for ways to produce more parts at a
lower cost. What used to take two
machines or more now takes just one.
Recent breakthroughs in profile grinding software are helping Anderson Precision Gears and others meet wind power’s insatiable appetite for faster
production of large, high-quality gears.
