Cracking the WIP

September 1, 2014
Michael Goldstein
Over the past few months I've talked with several different gear manufacturers who are in the process of upgrading their gear making equipment with modern CNC machine tools. Each of these manufacturers has come to the realization that in order to stay competitive, he needs to streamline operations and become more efficient...

Getting the Right Tools

September 1, 2014
Charles D. Schultz
So there is little chance that they need the same software to assist with their work. Gone are the days when companies wrote their own code and process engineers thumbed the same tattered reference book.

Who Is Afraid of Innovation

September 1, 2014
There are varying opinions as to what constitutes innovation, but in our industry and in the engineering world as a whole, we typically think of innovation as being the use of technologies different from those we use at the moment to do things better, faster and cheaper.

Micropitting of Large Gearboxes: Influence of Geometry and Operating Conditions

September 1, 2014
The focus of the following presentation is two-fold: 1) on tests of new geometric variants; and 2) on to-date, non-investigated operating (environmental) conditions. By variation of non-investigated eometric parameters and operation conditions the understanding of micropitting formation is improved. Thereby it is essential to ensure existent calculation methods and match them to results of the comparison between large gearbox tests and standard gearbox test runs to allow a safe forecast of wear due to micropitting in the future.

Simulation of Deviations in Hobbing and Generation Grinding

September 1, 2014
The hobbing and generation grinding production processes are complex due to tool geometry and kinematics. Expert knowledge and extensive testing are required for a clear attribution of cause to work piece deviations. A newly developed software tool now makes it possible to simulate the cutting procedure of the tool and superimpose systematic deviations on it. The performance of the simulation software is illustrated here with practical examples. The new simulation tool allows the user to accurately predict the effect of errors. With this knowledge, the user can design and operate optimal, robust gearing processes.

From Bauhaus to Gearbox

September 1, 2014
Arguably the city of Chicago’s most compelling, dynamic period — early 1930s -1960 — is dramatically evoked in Thomas Dyja’s 2013 book, THE THIRD COAST — When Chicago Built the American Dream.

Leading by Example - Remember When

September 1, 2014
Charles D. Schultz
In January of this year we at Gear Technology got hip to the fact-in un-hip, belated fashion - that we needed a Blog Site and someone to do the blogging. Lucky for us, we already had that someone right here - in plain sight. That someone was Charles D. Schultz, P.E.

LES GEARS LYONNAISE

September 1, 2014
Soon upon setting down in this beautiful, former (43 B.C.) Roman Colony that is now the City of Lyon, I was careening to my hotel, Mach I-plastered to the back seat of a sleek, shinyblack Mercedes taxi, when I realized I was staring at - zut alors? - cornfields!

Lubrication Lexicon

September 1, 2014
Robert Errichello
I must confess I sometimes find myself a bit dazed when discussing lubrication issues with either staff or vendors. The terminology seems to be all over the lot, with some terms having double meanings. Can you help cut through the confusion?
