Publisher & Editor-in-Chief
Michael Goldstein
Our goal at Gear Technology for the past 31 years has been to bring you the best possible technical information about gear manufacturing. We serve as the industry’s educational resource, explaining the technology not only so that you can understand it, but also so that you can make use of it in your gear-related business.
We’re serious about making sure that information is reliable, accurate and up-to-date. That’s why we have our technical articles reviewed by experts before we publish them. We rely heavily on our roster of technical editors, all of whom have decades of experience solving gear related problems, teaching gear-related classes and seminars, and working with the AGMA to write the standards we all rely upon. Our authors and contributors are without a doubt among the most knowledgeable people in the gear industry. In short, when you’re reading Gear Technology, you can be sure that you’re reading the work of experts.
Nowhere is that more true than in our “Ask the Experts” column. Last issue we announced that we’ll be hosting a live, inperson version of that column in our booth (#2030) at Gear Expo in October. We’ve lined up a panel of experts who should be able to answer almost any question you might have related to gears. So far, those experts include:
- Dr.-Ing. Nicklas Bylund, Sandvik Coromant, Manager Engineering Competence Center
- Dr.-Ing. Andreas Mehr, Liebherr Verzahntechnik, Technology Development, Grinding and Shaping
- Dr. Hartmuth Müller, Klingelnberg, Chief Technical Officer
- John O’Neil, Star SU, Engineering Manager-Gear Tools
- Chuck Schultz, Gear Technology technical editor and Principal, Beyta Gear Service
- Dr. Hermann J. Stadtfeld, Gleason Corporation, VP Bevel Gear Technology/R&D
- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Karsten Stahl, Technical University of Munich, Head of the Gear Research Center (FZG)
- Frank Uherek, Rexnord, Principal Engineer, Gear Engineering Software Development
I’m sure you’ll recognize many of these names as regular contributors both to Gear Technology and the industry. We’re in the process of finalizing the roster and expect another expert or two to round out the panel before the show.
We’ve tried to organize topics that will be of greatest interest to the largest number of visitors. There will be four sessions at our booth, with appropriate experts sitting on the panel in each session:
- GEAR GRINDING — Tuesday, October 20, 10:30 a.m.
- CUTTING TOOLS — Tuesday, October 20, 2:00 p.m.
- GEAR DESIGN — Wednesday, October 21, 10:30 a.m.
- ASK ANYTHING — Wednesday, October 21, 2:00 p.m.
