In a recent press release Raycar Gear & Machine announced that it has added its second Hofler CNC Gear Grinder. This Hofler Helix 700 CNC Gear Grinder, along with the company’s recently purchased Hofler Helix 400 CNC Gear Grinder, allows Raycar to better serve its customers. The 700 Gear Grinder increases gear grinding capacity to 27.8 inches in diameter. Both CNC machines allow the capacity to grind practically any tooth profile including crown, taper, tip relief, and any other imaginable modification. The onboard gear analyzers insure quality.

The addition of the Hofler Helix 700 Gear Grinder reinforces Raycar’s commitment to quality. Analytical gear charts are provided to all its customers. Raycar can grind any spur gear, helical gear, or spline shaft consistently, achieving–and even exceeding–AGMA class 12 quality gears. First-piece inspections are required as part of the regular process for each and every job, and in-process inspections are done after each operation during manufacturing. A final inspection is always conducted before shipping. Quality will always be an important aspect at Raycar.

Located in Rockford, Illinois, Raycar is a privately owned gear manufacturing facility, currently operating two shifts, with over 10,000 square feet of manufacturing space. It specializes in processing most low volume gear requirements of one to 100 pieces. It is a complete job shop with CNC lathes, CNC machining centers, I.D. grinders, and a CNC O.D. grinder.
