The Role of Virtual Prototyping in Gear System Design and Manufacturing for E-Mobility

NVH is a key metric in drive-system development for e-mobility. Hexagon is working to address NVH and other drivetrain issues, through a recent collaboration between their Romax toolset and Dontyne Systems, with virtual prototyping (VP) solutions that account for the manufacturing process at the design stage. VP is an area where huge advances have been made. As gear and transmission systems, and the methods of their production, become more complex and more interdependent, finding ways to use VP across the entire development process—from the initial design, through analysis, right up to manufacturing—ultimately means gaining a better understanding of system performance and efficiency.

Low Pressure Carburizing of Gears Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure carburizing (LPC) that significantly increases the surface hardness/strength of steel parts for improved friction and wear. Performing LPC 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. Read More	e-Mobility & Low Pressure Carburizing with ECM LPC with HPGQ is optimal for drivetrain heat treatment systems with the industry transition from ICE to EV. Electric vehicle drivetrains demand very low distortion, and automotive manufacturers require very consistent, high-quality results which are achieved when performing low pressure carburizing/high pressure gas quenching in ECM vacuum furnaces. www.ecm-usa.com Read More	Index Announces Next Generation TNL12 Sliding-Headstock CNC Lathe Index has announced the launch of the next generation of its Traub TNL12 sliding-headstock lathe for small part machining.
