Under the umbrella of Aiktec – Digital Solutions, Klingelnberg brings together smart, industry-ready applications that bring the concepts of Industry 4.0 and the IoT directly to the shop floor. Smart Tracing is a web-based software solution for analyzing machine behavior. It is essentially the Klingelnberg DDQM (Data-Driven Quality Management) for any CNC machine, regardless of the manufacturer. Relevant process and performance information from the CNC machine is uploaded in the form of servo traces and managed and analyzed via a simple browser application.
Gleason's Closed Loop System with robot or cobot loading now fully automates the measurement and correction process in gear production. Automatically prompting corrections on connected production machines, the GMSP series not only reduces human error in repetitive tasks, it also increases utilization of inspection equipment up to 90%.

Our annual State-of-the-Gear-Industry survey in January included the question, “What role will emerging technologies play in your organization in the coming years?” Notably, many respondents plan to implement shop floor automation and cobots into their gear shops. The game plan and timetable, however, varies on a case-by-case basis. To assist in the development of an automation program, we’ve interviewed experts from ABB, Universal Robots and KUKA Robotics to provide insightful and timely feedback on how to start this journey in gear manufacturing.
