SMT’s world-leading gear manufacturing technology has been proven to solve problems where other companies have failed. It is the most complete model of the cutting process available and is able to solve major problems in gear manufacturing such as:
 |
Gear tooth hollow |
 |
Poor gear tooth pitch error |
 |
Reduction and stabilisation of heat treatment distortion |
 |
Poor gear quality due to incompatibility between gear design, cutters and machine |
Examples have shown how the application of SMT’s technology has allowed a company to improve the accuracy of the hobbed and shaved gears by as much as 3 ISO Grades. No investment in new machinery was needed and the improvement removed the need to change to Grinding.
With cost so important in our competitive world, can you afford to do without this capability?
Taking corrective action is more cost-effective at the concept stage, where it costs dollars to put right; where at the detailed design, development and pre-production stages it can cost thousands of dollars to correct.
