The latest technology on display in Columbus, OH. October 24-26.

At first, monitoring the energy I use at my plant or the energy for each individual machine seemed trivial. Isn't this just an overhead cost I have to pay? I'm certainly not going to turn off a machine that costs too much to run when I have to get a job out for that month. Then, I realized how much savings there was for monitoring power consumption and the ROI was timely.

Liebherr Gear Technology Inc. recently hosted the 7^th WZL Gear Conference in the USA 2017 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This two-day program o...

I have been following developments on gear making in general-purpose CNC machines with great interest. The advent of affordable gear grinding seems...

One of the things I mention when teaching about gears is the long history of great minds who have contributed to our field. Early readers of Ge...

Suppliers are working hard to make sure their heat treating equipment is controllable, repeatable and efficient, and manufacturers continue to incorporate technology that gives heat treaters and their customers more information about what's going on inside the magic box.

This paper presents a new approach to repair industrial gears by showing a case study where pressure angle modification is also considered, differently from the past repairing procedures that dealt only with the modification of the profile shift coefficient. A computer program has been developed to automatically determine the repair alternatives under two goals: minimize the stock removal or maximize gear tooth strength.
