Optimum Carburized and Hardened Case Depth
By Robert Errichello and Andrew MillburnThe optimum carburized and hardened case depth for each gear failure mode is different and must be defined at different locations on the gear tooth. Current gear rating standards do not fully explain the different failure modes and do not clearly define the different locations that must be considered.
High Volume, In-Process Gear Inspection: Now with Lead Measurement
New GRSL combines traditional roll testing with advanced non-contact laser technology in a single system. Analytical index, profile and even lead measurement can now be done in seconds. It’s ideal for high volume, 100% gear inspection, and operating in a Closed Loop with production machines.

Gear Carburizing in Vacuum
Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure vacuum carburizing (LPVC) that significantly increases the surface hardness/strength of steel parts for improved friction and wear. Performing LPVC in a vacuum furnace eliminates oxygen and prevents IGO (intergranular oxidation) that is inherent in atmospheric carburizing, resulting in clean parts with less distortion reducing post process finishing operations, and costs.

Helios KFS 100 and 250 Sharpeners Turn 20
In 1999, the global gear manufacturing industry suffered from limited choices of CNC gear tool sharpening equipment. Consequently, Helios Gear Products began development of an American designed, American-built machine tool dedicated for resharpening hobs, shaper cutters, and milling cutters. Today, 20 years later, these “KFS” machines have been installed on 4 continents.
