| Precision and Innovation in Gear Cutting |
In response to growing demands for high-precision gears, particularly in industries like automotive and aerospace, NIDEC has developed tools that support the latest gear manufacturing techniques. These techniques, such as gear grinding and honing, are used more frequently after heat treatment to achieve the desired accuracy and reduce gear noise and vibration. While grinding and honing typically involve additional post-heat treatment processes, these techniques ensure that the gears meet strict precision standards.

| Combi Honing for Faster Production of Quieter Gears |
With Combi Honing, finish two gears on one workpiece in a single setup, or use two honing rings on the same gear to achieve excellent surface finishes. Combi Honing is the perfect solution for e-drive stepped pinions and similar transmission gears with timing requirements. Two honing rings in one setup offer an exciting alternative to polish grinding, especially for parts which cannot be ground due to interferences. Gleason Gear Honing Machines are part of a complete hard finishing system including grinding and dressing tools, as well as application knowhow to ensure maximum quality within minimum cycle times.
