A World of Smart Processing & Digital Advancements
From the certainty of the electrification movement and the uncertainty of economic inflation, the respective tight tolerances on tight budgets have presented the gear industry with a panoply of paradigm-changing innovations and challenges. Recently, Gear Technology spoke with Prasad Kizhakel, Chief Sales Officer at the Klingelnberg Group; Udo Stolz, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Gleason Corporation; and Shane Hollingsworth, Vice President Sales at Kapp Technologies to assess what the next five years in gear manufacturing may look like from the machine tool providers.
Super IQ® holds all the ACEs of LPC

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.
