Manufacturers gathered at the Sandvik Coromant Center in Schaumburg, Ill., on May 25 for presentations and demonstrations on gear and spline milling during the Gear Up! event. The centre, one of Sandvik’s 22 facilities across the globe, offers technical training, research and development, customer service, and prototype development. Representatives from Ovako, Zoller, Carl Zeiss, and Star SU contributed to the educational open house.
Ovako discussed how steel quality should be taken into consideration in the design and print stages of gear milling; Zoller demonstrated the Venturion tool presetter; Carl Zeiss demonstrated the Accura 2 CMM; and Star SU led discussions on hob quality.
Sandvik tooling was demonstrated on several machine tools, including:
- a combination of gashing with a Coromill® 172 and finishing with a Star SU gear hob in one setup on a Höfler HF 1000 gear milling machine;
- power skiving on a DMG Mori NT4250 multitask machine;
- a CoroMill® 161 indexable InvoMilling™ cutter and CoroMill 171.4 indexable spline cutter cutting Ovako steel on a Mazak Integrex multitask machine;
- spiral gear cutting for Plura® end mills using a Nikken CNC rotary table on a Mori Seiki MV653 machining centre; and
- CoroTurn® 300 with Coromant Capto® and high-precision coolant on an Okuma Captain L-470M.
