Gear Manufacturing & Inspection

May 6–8—Kimpton Hotel Monaco; Philadelphia

While function and rating are important factors in a successful gear design, to be truly optimal and successful, the gear designer must also design the gears to be manufactured and inspected. In this course, therefore, we will address key factors in a wide variety of manufacturing and inspection processes to enable the gear designer to design optimal gears better considering both rating and the necessary manufacturing and inspection processes to produce the gears as designed.
