As an accompanying event to the International Conference on Gears 2023, the 5th International Conference on Gear Production is one of the most important biannual meeting points for the gear manufacturing industry both for technical experts and for decision-makers. Current challenges and solutions are presented and discussed, strongly emphasizing new potentials in productivity and/or the flexibility of gear manufacturing processes.

This three-day event offers attendees learning sessions and case studies on the latest industrial lubrication and oil analysis technologies. The comprehensive conference schedule covers every facet of the machinery lubrication industry and includes workshops on topics such as employee performance, lubrication fundamentals, condition-based maintenance and maintenance planning.

The International VDI Congress “Dritev” is one of the world’s largest automobile congresses. Hundreds of experts with an R&D background meet every year to exchange thoughts on current developments in the field of drivetrain and transmission. It’s the ideal place to reach out to long-known fellow experts, find new project partners and pave the way to establish new business ties.

Automatica is a trade fair for intelligent automation and robotics covers the entire value-added chain: from components to systems; from services to applications—for all manufacturing sectors. It offers an overview of current developments and innovations and thus provides the necessary orientation and investment security.

The 4-day Gear Dynamics & Gear Noise Short Course will be held on the Ohio State campus from June 5-8, 2023. The course content is based on the results of 30+ years of gearing research, problem solving and consulting work by the OSU faculty. The course will be taught in the “in-person” mode with limited enrollment, with no online component.

Between intimate workshops, news making keynotes, networking events, innovation competitions and live demonstrations, Automate offers comprehensive automation education and cutting-edge robotics, vision, AI, motion control and other technologies. Automate delivers the latest innovations in manufacturing automation technology from more than 600 leading exhibitors. 

While function and rating are important factors in a successful gear design, to be truly optimal and successful, the gear designer must also design the gears to be manufactured and inspected. In this course, therefore, we will address key factors in a wide variety of manufacturing and inspection processes to enable the gear designer to better design optimal gears considering both rating and the necessary manufacturing and inspection processes to produce the gears as designed. We will also help the designer to understand how to interpret inspection data so that they can ensure that the gears meet the design. To be clear, this is not a course in how to operate the various machines. Rather it addresses the design provisions that are required to allow the gears to be optimally manufactured and inspected. The learner will develop a broad understanding of the methods used to manufacture and inspect gears, as well as interpret how the resultant information can be applied and interpreted in the design process.
