For years, CNC machining has revolutionised the gear and spline business, thanks to its precision, speed, and efficiency.
Previously, operators who honed their skills over many decades could achieve excellent quality and precision. However, CNC machining’s advantages make it ideal for gear cutting. These are the main advantages of gear fabrication through CNC machining.
Quality and speed
CNC machining ensures you get a consistent result every time. The gear cut is precisely what is specified, and the production speed is significantly higher than manual techniques.
Production volumes
When it comes to larger production runs, CNC machining is a great option. This fast manufacturing process yields reliable, high-quality results.
Prototyping
With CNC machining software, you can visualise the finished product before it is even made. As a result, there’s no longer a need to create a prototype to refine your design before going into production.
Learning curve
CNC machining requires an experienced operator. However, the necessary skill level and operator involvement are comparatively less than conventional gear cutting methods.
Automation
When it comes to the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), CNC machining, a connected and automated technology, offers the means to monitor their progress remotely.
Less waste
Since there’s no need for prototyping or wasted parts due to production error or not meeting quality standards, CNC machining is fundamentally an efficient manufacturing process. As a result, far less raw material is needed for production.
