Davall Gears Ltd has recently taken delivery of a newly commissioned Gleason-Pfauter P400ES CNC shaping machine tool. This investment will enable Davall to more efficiently produce both spur and helical gearing, utilizing electronic controls to remove the need for expensive mechanical guides. This electronic guide system will increase flexibility by eliminating the requirement to change guides for different leads and handings, while increasing capacity to cut two or more gears in a single setup. This capacity in addition to a Gleason eight axis CNC gear grinder enables Davall to supply some of the highest quality gearing currently manufactured in the U.K.

The P400 ES will routinely achieve AGMA 9-10 grade (ISO 7-8 quality) manufacture without the need for gear grinding, with a workpiece diameter (internal & external) of 400mm. The machine is also fitted with an additional two-axis control allowing the manufacture of tapered internal and external spur and helical gears. “This investment is the latest commitment to our strategy of expansion,” says Davall Sales and Marketing Manager Simon Parry. “It will also enable us to continue to provide customers with exceptionally high quality components.”

Using its extensive CAD design and test facilities, Davall is one of the major manufacturers of custom-made precision gears and gearboxes in the U.K., supplying into military, aerospace, medical, and commercial markets.
