Formnext (Frankfurt, Germany) is more than an exhibition and conference. It’s an entire platform for companies from the world of additive manufacturing. Here, a veritable who’s who from the realms of design and product development, industrial tooling, production solutions, quality management, and measurement technology comes together with leading providers in basic materials and component construction.

With its unique concept, Smart Production Solutions (SPS) covers the entire spectrum of smart and digital automation – from simple sensors to intelligent solutions, from what is feasible today to the vision of a fully digitalized industrial world. SPS, located in Nuremberg, Germany, is an innovative platform for the automation industry with topics on control technology, electric drive systems, HMIs, software, sensors and mechanical infrastructure.

Although gears have been indispensable components in various areas such as mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and industrial gear production for many decades, increasing requirements and current market developments are constantly presenting the drive technology sectors with new challenges. The aim of the Aachen Conference on Gear Production is an exchange of knowledge and experience between engineers who work in or are responsible for the design, development, production, assembly and application of gears.

The 10th WZL Gear Conference - USA is being hosted by Gleason Corporation in Rochester NY and will provide the opportunity for North American companies to connect with WZL and learn about current research activities. For more than 50 years the annual WZL Gear Conference in Aachen, Germany, has been fostering technical collaboration and communication among the members of the WZL Gear Research Circle. The two-day conference is devoted exclusively to the presentation of the latest research in gear design, manufacturing and testing.

For more than 30 years, RAPID + TCT has defined the crucial role of additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing by empowering the establishment of an industry that continues to conceive, test, improve and manufacture new products at a faster, more cost-efficient pace. SME and Rapid News Publications team up to produce the annual RAPID + TCT event. which will take place June 25-27 in Los Angeles, CA.

With 100+ technical sessions and more than 300+ individual presentations, AISTech attendees can plan their day around the conference schedule and learn about the latest products and processes happening in every aspect of the steelmaking process. Sessions include safety/health, environmental technology, cokemaking, ironmaking, sheet rolling, metallurgy, MRO, lubrication, material handling and more. Join this steel industry event in Columbus, OH from May 6-9, 2024, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

This comprehensive four-day training course blends gear theory and practical experience. Participants will learn about the KISSsoft interface, cylindrical gear theory and strength calculation methods, using the shaft and bearing module, optimization of cylindrical gear macro and micro geometry, verification in Loaded-Tooth Contact Analysis (LTCA), and an introduction to the new system analysis tool, KISSdesign. This course includes a tour of the Gleason Works Rochester facility to experience practical examples on the shop floor. 

In this seminar, attendees will learn about gearing, electromobility and their interrelationships. How gearing can increase the efficiency and performance of electromobility, and which components are needed for this. Also, a detailed look at the design and manufacture of gears for electric vehicles. Attendees will explore the challenges of gearing for electromobility, such as adapting to hard-to-reach places, increasing durability, and reducing energy consumption, and discuss how grinding technology and tool design must meet requirements to improve the properties and improve the quality of gears for electric vehicles. The Aachen Forum on Gear Production (AFGP) is held annually in alternation with the Aachen Conference on Gear Production (ACGP). While the Forum at the RWTH Aachen Campus is dedicated to a technical focus (2023 the interlocking in the E-Mobility sector) the conference, on the other hand, is dedicated to various facets of gear technology.

Produced by AGMA, Motion + Power Technology Expo (Detroit) is a three-day show that connects professionals looking for motion power solutions with manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers. Attendees will find new power transmission parts, materials, and manufacturing processes. Buy, sell, and get business done with organizations in aerospace, automotive, agricultural, energy, construction and more.

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.
