Gleason Corporation recently presented its latest innovations across the full spectrum of gear technology-from digital design and high-precision manufacturing to nano-level inspection-with a particular focus on .
At the heart of Gleason's presentation is the seamless transition from gear design to manufacturing. The latest KISSsoft Gear Design Software, now integrated with the KISSsoft System Module, offers advanced capabilities for simulating complete transmissions and gearbox components. These innovations are designed to streamline the engineering process.
In manufacturing, Gleason introduced several new solutions tailored to small- and medium-sized gear production. The Phoenix 100C Bevel Gear Cutting Machine enables fast, user-friendly production of high-precision bevel gears for robotic and industrial applications. For differential gear systems, the Coniflex Pro Manufacturing System offers innovations in a closed-loop environment, reducing surface stress and root bending while improving NVH performance and transmission accuracy.
For hobbing and chamfer cutting, the Genesis 280HCD offers improved flexibility by combining Chamfer Hobbing and Fly Cutter Chamfering in parallel with gear cutting operations-making it suited for large-scale production and adaptable small-batch manufacturing. Additionally, the compact 100PSiC Power Skiving Machine brings together power skiving or hobbing with sequential radial chamfering in a single machine, efficiently processing gears and shafts, even with complex contours.
In gear inspection, Gleason unveiled the 175GMS nano Gear Metrology System, which delivers submicron precision using a skidless probe and advanced evaluation tools such as Waviness Analysis and the KTEPS Kinematic Transmission Error Prediction Software. These technologies enable fast and accurate diagnosis of gear noise and surface deviations.
The company also featured its QFS Quick-Flex System, where workholding changeovers take less than 30 seconds, as well as the latest hydraulic and mechanical clamping systems designed for precision and ease of handling across a wide range of machining needs.
Complementing the machinery, Gleason offers a broad range of tooling solutions. These include high-performance hard finishing tools for grinding and honing, carbide power skiving cutters for any machine platform, and a full portfolio of European-made HSS and carbide hobs and milling cutters, including worm gear hobs and coarse pitch hobs, suitable for automotive, industrial, and many other applications.
