State of the Gear Industry Perspectives takes an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities in gear manufacturing today and in the future. Our fourth installment online is an interview with Scott Knoy, vice president of sales at Nidec Machine Tool America. 

State of the Gear Industry Perspectives takes an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities in gear manufacturing today and in the future. Our first installment online is an interview with Udo Stolz, vice president of sales and marketing at Gleason Corporation.

As of Dec. 1, U.S. Central Regional Sales Manager Nick Falgiatano will be the new marketing manager, Sales Area Americas, for Sandvik Coromant. In his new role, Falgiatano will be accountable for establishing and reaching the strategic objectives of Sales Area Americas.

Manufacturers must produce lighter and more compact EV transmissions from tough materials such as low-alloy steels—and those that rely on traditional manufacturing processes risk falling behind. Mats Wennmo, Global Automotive Transmission Manager at the metal cutting specialist Sandvik Coromant, explains why gear skiving is crucial for competitive manufacturing.
 

Integrated manufacturing solutions for machining processes from the blank to the finished workpiece are the focus of the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP's trade fair appearance at the world's leading trade fair for metalworking IMTS 2022 in Chicago.

Seco and its technical partners will host the company’s first hybrid (physical and virtual) Inspiration Through Innovation (ITI) event on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. The event will be focused on the aerospace manufacturing segment, with machining demonstrations, an inspiring seminar program, and networking opportunities.

Gear skiving offers great opportunities for production with step-changing productivity, particularly for internal gears, whilst offering high-quality finishing capabilities and being applicable on a 5-axis machine tool with its inherent flexibility and multifunctionality.

When Sandvik Coromant opened its new Center Mebane facility last year in Mebane, NC, near Raleigh the vision was to use it as a hub for training, R&D testing, customer projects and, most of all, an opportunity for comprehensive customer and partner engagement.

Helios Gear Products will debut two state-of-the-art gear manufacturing solutions at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, September 12–17, 2022.

The research presented in this paper extends the work done on CAD-based simulation approaches with an investigation of the surface topography of gears produced through gear skiving and the investigation of the cutting tool characteristics on the geometry of the produced gear. The study is complemented with the investigation of the cutting forces required in the machining process.
