Whether it’s gears for industrial or humanoid robots, Gleason has you covered:
100PS Power Skiving and Hobbing Machine and Phoenix® 100C Bevel Gear Cutting Machine provide excellent productivity and flexibility to cut your strain wave and planetary gears, as well as bevel and hypoid gear sets in unsurpassed quality. Both come with or without integrated automation and complete tooling systems. Measure the results on the 175GMS nano Metrology System with various analysis capabilities.
The Swabian transmission and drive solutions manufacturer SPN Schwaben Präzision Fritz Hopf GmbH manufactures gearboxes, gears, and drive systems according to individual customer requirements.
Gears that aren’t properly chamfered and deburred can lead to overloaded edges and unanticipated and undesirable noise. This is particularly true in EV applications where torque transmission, unlike combustion engine vehicles, goes from zero to a much higher maximum almost instantly. As a result, EV gears require hard finishing (honing and threaded wheel grinding), and chamfering/deburring becomes critical.
Manufacturers of EV drive systems are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for quiet-running, dependable transmission gears and shafts. Where once chamfering and deburring operations were almost an afterthought, they’re now considered a primary soft machining process, with widespread recognition that anything less than a flawless tooth flank can result in premature transmission failure, less-than-optimal efficiency, and unacceptable noise.
German Machine Tools of America (GMTA) is now selling Profilator 300-V with linear drives in the North American market.
This modular machine platform used to cut gears, is equipped with one or two workpiece spindles in a compact design. It offers maximum flexibility due to modular design and is individually configurable for various machining processes (i.e. Scudding, hobbing, cycloidal milling, pointing, chamfering and deburring). State-of-the-art linear drives in the x and y axis, as well as a torque drive in the a axis offers high machine dynamics for short cycle times and maximum accuracy/low costs. High machine rigidity is available for Hard Scudding of inner and outer diameters.
Machine Tool Builders Inc. (MTB) has added a high-speed, high-precision Chamfering and Deburring Machine to its family of new gear production machines.
Helios Gear Products will debut two state-of-the-art gear manufacturing solutions at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, September 12–17, 2022.
It wasn’t long ago that cylindrical gear chamfering and deburring was almost an afterthought. Now the process ranks as high in importance as hobbing, shaping and grinding. Seemingly every gear manufacturer, particularly those developing transmission gears for e-drive applications, recognizes that anything less than a flawless tooth flank can result in premature transmission failure, less-than-optimal efficiency, and unacceptable noise. Thus, generating a chamfer to precise customer specifications is critical to minimize the potential for sharp, brittle edges after heat treat; avoid edge load situations in the gearbox; and eliminate excessive stock and hardened burrs in the tooth flank prior to the hard finishing operations (conditions which can greatly diminish tool life).
