Computer technology
has touched all areas of our lives - impacting how we obtain airline tickets,
purchase merchandise and receive medical advice. This transformation has
had a vast influence on gear manufacturing as well, providing process
improvements which lead to higher quality and lower costs. However, in
the case of the gear industry, the critical process of tooth contact pattern
development for spiral bevel gears remains relatively unchanged from previous The procedures required to develop spiral bevel gear sets for a new product can require months of trial and error work and thousands of dollars. In view of increasing competition for lower priced products, bevel gears are a prime target for the next generation of computerization. Answering this challenge, Arrow Gear Company of Downers Grove, Illinois has realized an entirely new era through a dramatic shift in the way spiral bevel gear development is performed. This article will provide some fundamental information pertaining to gear development and detail the procedures and techniques utilized by Arrow Gear to achieve maximum quality while substantially lowering development costs.
