Arrow was the world's first gear manufacturer to implement a fully integrated in-house Computer Controlled Manufacturing Closed Loop System. The system allows for the electronic interchange between design, gear manufacturing and inspection - resulting in a highly efficient process for manufacturing bevel gears.
To communicate the scope and details of Arrow's CCM Closed Loop System, an interactive multimedia presentation entitled, "A New Era" is available. In addition, a printed brochure of the same title can be ordered or downloaded from this Website. To request these materials, please follow this link to the Materials Request page.

| Machine settings are downloaded to the Gleason cutting machines from
Manufacturing Engineering. These settings are made automatically. |
Through topographical plotting, the part is checked by the Zeiss/Hofler Inspection System. Necessary corrective adjustments are then sent directly to the Gleason cutting machine. | The system is also used to control settings on the Gleason tooth grinders. Optimal settings are achieved much faster than with conventional techniques. |
