Gear

Many gear sizes and types are used in vehicle production. Most gears are carbon steel, and chip control can be an issue when machining non-heat treated gears in fully automated production lines. Hard machining tooling is required when gears are machined after heat treating to eliminate grinding operations and reduce production costs.

YOUR MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES

Maintaining efficiency through effective chipbreaking when roughing the outer diameter.
Productively turning the internal diameter and undercut groove.
Productively turning the internal diameter and back facing.
Maximising productivity when milling teeth entries.
Maintaining hard-turning productivity when plunging the back face and finishing the bore diameter.
Minimising cycle times while reliably grooving in an interrupted cut.
Reliably hard turning the finishing interrupted cut on the outer diameter.
Ensuring hard-turning efficiency when finishing the face and synchromesh taper with interruption.

1 - Roughing the outer diameter

Your Challenge:		Maintaining efficiency through effective chipbreaking when roughing the outer diameter.
Our Solution:		Jetstream Tooling delivers a high-pressure jet of coolant to the optimum position close to the cutting edge. In addition to eliminating heat build up, this lifts the chip away from the rake face to increase chip control and maximize tool life. Seco-Capto systems can be errorproof modified for mass production applications, and allow for full automation by adding electronic data chips to the tool holders. Your benefits include increased process reliability and productivity.
