By 2030, the global robotics market size is expected to range anywhere from $160 billion to $260 billion. The world is expecting robots to do a lot of the “heavy lifting” going forward. But with demand pressuring supply for many of the essential components, new production technologies are needed to keep pace. Nowhere is this truer than for the smaller, high-precision spiral and hypoid bevel gears that play such a critical role in transmitting power and delivering precise, reliable movement in increasingly complex, multiaxis robotic systems. Yet, manufacturers of these gears have, up until now, had surprisingly few options available to help them ramp up production of this new generation of high-efficiency bevel gears—particularly in the increasingly common size range of 100 mm in diameter and smaller.
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!
Exciting new machine, cutting tool and software technologies are compelling
many manufacturers to take a fresh look at producing their larger gears on machining centers. They're faster than ever, more flexible, easy to operate, highly affordable - and for any type of gear.
