Gearboxes

The machining cycle developed by ITALGEAR for cylindrical shaved gears allow compensating, through appropriate correction of each single machining steps, the unavoidable distortions introduced by the carburizing and hardening heat treatment and obtain finished gears of the highest quality. Latest generation gear hobbing machines, combined with modern CNC shaving machines, all equipped with loading systems, allow for consistent quality and repeatability of the production process, besides excellent cost effectiveness. Shaved gears thus can be used in numerous applications such as automotive, industrial engines, mechanical drives, automated machinery, marine gearboxes, gearboxes, etc.

The common roots shared with the Poppi Forging Industries provide ITALGEAR a facilitated access to the forging facilities of the Group and particularly the ability to source electrical upsetted parts with dimensions that are predetermined by specific software’s that allow minimizing the stock material hence resulting into superior quality and price effectiveness of the finished product. Gears of shafts and axle shafts, after their heat treatment, can also be finished with the use of the Skiving technology that makes use of specific hard metal hobbing tools that are PVD coated. The Skiving technology allows production of gears that combine a high quality finishing with reduced machining time and costs.

High quality lapped Gleason gears that exceed the expectations of the most demanding customers are well within the capability of ITALGEAR who will implement their long developed experience in the field and develop the most effective Tooth Contact Area and motion curves of the bevel gear resulting into high precision and low noise in operation. Specific software such as CAGE and Kimos are used as well as strict controls of all the production steps are applied in order to replicate precisely the mathematical model of the tooth profile (software such as GAGE and Komet are used). The use of modern Gleason Phoenix CNC gear cutting machines and Klingelnberg and Remaut CNC lapping machines with a 100% gear final check in combination with vibration analysis, allow to obtain highquality lapped Gleason gears that will satisfy the most demanding customers

ITALGEAR has long promoted grounding as the most effective gear finishing for Gleason bevel helical gears and takes pride in using the latest gear grinding machine from Gleason and Klingelnberg Oerlikon. The Tooth Contact Anlalisys (TCA) to obtain the optimal motion graph curves of the bevel helical gear that will generate the lowest noise and the highest precision once in operation is developed by ITALGEAR engineers through the use of specific software like CAGE and Kimos. Quality controls are performed by software’s like GAGE and Komet throughout the entire process in order to replicate precisely the mathematical model of the tooth profile.
