Manufacturing Method of Large-Sized Spiral Bevel Gears in Cyclo-Palloid System Using Multi-Axis Control and Multi-Tasking Machine Tool

In this article, the authors calculated the numerical coordinates on the tooth surfaces of spiral bevel gears and then modeled the tooth profiles using a 3-D CAD system. They then manufactured the large-sized spiral bevel gears based on a CAM process using multi-axis control and multi-tasking machine tooling. The real tooth surfaces were measured using a coordinate measuring machine and the tooth flank form errors were detected using the measured coordinates. Moreover, the gears were meshed with each other and the tooth contact patterns were investigated. As a result, the validity of this manufacturing method was confirmed.

Schneider Electric Releases Global Autonomous Maturity Report

Schneider Electric has revealed the Europe findings of its Global Autonomous Maturity Report which draws on 400 senior energy and chemical industry leaders across 12 countries and four regions. The findings expose a timely crossroads at the heart of Europe’s climate strategy: the region most convinced that autonomous operations are indispensable to net zero is the region furthest from deploying them at scale. For the hard-to-abate industries that account for around 40 percent of global emissions, this gap is real and measured in megatons. It is also a competitiveness gap. As the global race to decarbonize industry accelerates, Europe’s must take this opportunity to adopt adoption of AI-powered autonomous operations risks ceding industrial leadership at the very moment that sustainable industry and competitive industry have become one and the same.

Optical vs. Tactile Gear Measurement for E-Mobility

In this project, a practical measurement comparison of conventional tactile and optical systems was done. The goal was to investigate if and how good the measurement results of classic characteristics and waviness characteristics of the different physical measurement principles are comparable. In addition, it was determined whether the use of optical fringe projection measurement systems is suitable for gear metrology.
