Gleason Corporation based in Rochester, New York and Nottingham-based Smart Manufacturing Technology Ltd (SMT) has announced the release of the first phase of their strategic global partnership. New versions of SMT’s premier full-system transmission design and analysis software (MASTA) and Gleason’s industry-leading software for bevel and hypoid gear design and manufacture (CAGE) are now available with a seamless link between the two packages. Together these provide a new design-to-manufacture solution for bevel and hypoid gears with significant performance advantages and cost savings over current processes.
For the first time, gear manufacturers can now benefit from an integrated workflow that fully considers the design geometry of bevel and hypoid gear tooth flanks, via the manufacturing machine settings, within the context of the full system.
Full-system durability and NVH analyses can be performed easily at any stage to help solve bevel and hypoid noise problems while gear flank geometry can be quickly optimized by performing system-level Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis.
This improved virtual analysis and testing helps avoid the costs associated with repeated manufacturing and testing of prototype gears, saving customers’ time and money.
Gleason is a world leader in the development, manufacture and sale of gear production machinery and related equipment while SMT is a world leading supplier of tools, procedures and expertise for the design, analysis and development of complete transmission and driveline systems.
