This paper describes the machining process and presents a case history with a comprehensive view of the time and cost benefits compared to a previous situation with standard machine tools. Geometric constraints in the worm shaft design due to the whirling process are also discussed. Understanding the Basic Principles of Power Skiving 42 By Nicklas Bylund General guidelines and simple mathematics, including ways to calculate spindle speeds, are presented to assist manufacturing engineers and decision-makers in determining if power skiving is a viable solution to manufacture a part. A Look at Expanding Mandrels for Gear Workholding 48 By Timothy Zenoski Expanding mandrels that hold gears between centers are used in the gear manufacturing process, most commonly in gear inspection, where high precision and range of expansion are key benefits.

EDITORIAL Last month, I took a short trip up to Rochester, New York, during an unseasonably warm Molly J. Rogers week — and just prior to the harsh wind storm that was followed by a severe snow storm. My EDITOR timing couldn’t have been better. My host and tour guide, Buzz Maiuri of Gleason Works, joked that I brought the tepid temperatures with me from Alabama, which is certainly a Kenneth Carter ASSOCIATE EDITOR model state for unpredictable weather. During my visit to Rochester, I had the chance to tour a small job shop, Rochester Gear, where owners Tony Fedor and Scott Caccamise enthusiastically led me through rows of SALES machines — some old, some new — describing the parts they manufacture and how they use Chad Morrison their equipment. It was truly fascinating, and I want to thank Tony and Scott for spending ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER their afternoon with me. You can read more about their story in this issue’s Company Profile. I also visited Gleason headquarters in Rochester. It’s already proven to be a remarkable Dave Gomez REGIONAL SALES MANAGER year for Gleason, and it was a pleasure meeting with the kind, knowledgeable teams and enjoying a tour of the plant. I want to thank everyone who took the time to meet with me, including the friendly folks at Gleason Plastic Gears a short drive away, and a special thanks CIRCULATION to Buzz for an incredible visit to Rochester. Teresa Cooper At Gleason, I also had a chance to speak with gear-workholding expert Timothy Zenoski, MANAGER who authors an article in this issue on expanding mandrels, particularly LeCount mandrels, a household name for over a century in the workholding world. Jamie Willett ASSISTANT Hot Seat columnist Scott MacKenzie also discusses workholding as well as machining and how they can be sources of distortion prior to heat treatment.

Dissertations - ALL. 822. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/822 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.

  • A Revolution in Metalworking Fluids
    a revolution in metalworking fluids soluble & neat metalworking fluids smart engineering solutions Metalworking fluids are one of the most complex liquids owing to their chemistry and the environment in which they have to perform. The wide range of materials and applications means that it is not possible to develop one formulation that fits all requirements. It is therefore essential to offer a wide product range so that customers can confidently choose the metalworking fluid best suited to their process and application. As well as performance requirements, we recognise our customers’ commercial needs. By offering a range of high performance products we can help the customer balance criteria such as surface finish, the severity of the working environment and productivity, against cost. High performance chemistry comes at a higher price; for example, the machining of aerospace titanium compared to steel, requires smart and different engineering solutions.

  • Skiving: a Manufacturing Renaissance Matthew Jaster, Senior Editor
    feature Skiving: A Manufacturing Renaissance Matthew Jaster, Senior Editor Skiving will be front and center when the gear industry comes together in Columbus this October. Attendees will find dedicated skiving equipment, multifunctional machines with skiving options and a slew of new cutting tools, machine designs and modifications to make the process more efficient and robust. Although the skiving process has been around for a very long time, the industry continues to make adjustments where need- ed. Companies are reinvesting and reinventing how to pres- ent their customers with skiving capabilities. Gear Technology recently spoke with several companies to discuss where this highly productive process fits into gear manufacturing in 2017. Tool Technology One area that has improved tremendously is the tools used Tool development at Gleason is based on its own, unique for the skiving process. In the last few years, engineers from simulation software and technology know-how. Gleason Cutting Tool Corporation in Rockford, Illinois and application engineering at Gleason-Pfauter operations in Germany and Switzerland have developed a new generation of Of course, better substrates and coatings helped to increase power skiving tools that match the specific requirements of its tool life, but the main step forward was the modern cutting customers. strategy of the multi-cut-cycles with sometimes over a dozen “For soft machining, different substrates like G50 and G70 cuts, according to Oliver Winkel, head of the application tech- are used which, in combination with Gleason’s AlCroNite Pro nology department at Liebherr. “This improves the cutting con- advanced coatings, deliver hardness and toughness characteris- ditions a lot and gives the tool a chance,” Winkel said.

  • Gear Manufacturing
    SUBJECT:-PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY (MECH. 2ND YEAR) NAME:-ABHAY SUNDRIYAL DATE:-06/04/2020 GEAR MANUFACTURING Gear manufacture can be divided into two categories, forming and machining. Forming consists of direct casting, molding, drawing, or extrusion of tooth forms in molten, powdered, or heat softened materials. Machining involves roughing and finishing operations. FORMING GEAR TEETH: Characteristics: In all tooth-forming operations, the teeth on the gear are formed all at once from a mold or die into which the tooth shapes have been machined. The accuracy of the teeth is entirely dependent on the quality of the die or mold and in general is much less than that can be obtained from roughing or finishing methods. Most of these methods have high tooling costs, making them suitable only for high production quantities . Gear Hobbing Machine Hobbing machines provide gear manufacturers a fast and accurate method for cutting parts. This is because of the generating nature of this particular cutting process. Gear hobbing is not a form cutting process, such as gashing or milling where the cutter is a conjugate form of the gear tooth. The hob generates a gear tooth profile by cutting several facets of each gear tooth profile through a synchronized rotation and feed of the work piece and cutter. As the hob feeds across the face of the work piece at a fixed depth, gear teeth will gradually be generated by a series of cutting edges, each at a slightly different position. The number of cuts made to generate the gear tooth profile will correspond to the number of gashes of the hob.
