| Next-Generation Bevel Gear Metrology |
Gleason's gear metrology brings waviness and surface analysis into a single automated inspection cycle—using standard stylus tips instead of costly, fragile roughness probes. It's a deep dive into how bevel gear inspection is moving beyond flank form to capture the surface characteristics that drive noise behavior.

| Data consistency across complex workflows |
Gearbox models often need to move between specialized engineering tools, leading to redundant data entry, inconsistencies, and errors. REXS establishes a common data model for consistent, reusable data exchange across your engineering toolchain. Discover how the FVA-Workbench integrates REXS, reducing manual effort and enabling connected engineering workflows.

| Emerging Technology Comes to the FTM |
Something new is happening at the 2026 Fall Technical Meeting, and it’s been years in the making. This October in Rosemont, IL, the FTM introduces a second track of presentation-only sessions on emerging technologies, innovative solutions, and real-world applications. For those of us working inside the MPMA Emerging Technology committees, this feels like a natural arrival.

| Join us for Lubrication and Wear: Advanced Concepts |
MPMA is hosting our Lubrication and Wear: Advanced Concepts course on October 20-22, in Wilmington, DE! This course provides a fundamental understanding of tribology, including lubrication, wear, surface interactions, lubricant films, and bearing failures, to help connect component design with failures caused by relative motion between contacting surfaces.
