MyTec Hydraclamp expansion tools are the optimal connecting link between workpiece and machine. Mytec’s line of arbors and chucks feature accuracy down to 0.0004” (mechanical) or 0.00012” (hydraulic) plus high expansion rates up to 0.010” or greater in a stainless steel construction offering an excellent solution for workholding where high forces are incurred or auto load applications where high clearance is required. Frenco’s spline gages provide several methods of spline inspection ranging from attribute, to variable and culminating at fully automatic. We will feature hand gages, concentricity gages, and a double flank gear inspection system. Stop by Booth #3209 to check it out!
Forest City Gear
Booth #3418
Jared Lyford, Director of Manufacturing Operations
Visitors to the Forest City Gear booth often arrive armed with drawings and looking for solutions to some of their toughest applications challenges. In many cases, the gears they really need don’t yet exist. Their journey to the right gear for the job often begins right here. So, we take a different approach from many exhibitors at the M+P Tech Expo. We won’t have commodity products on display or demonstrate off-the-the-shelf solutions. We’ll have plenty of examples of the fine- and medium-pitch precision gears customers throughout the gear industries rely on us to produce.
HAINBUCH America
Booth #3203
Michael Larson, Marketing Director
Clamping solutions for the gear-cutting industry are unique and have special requirements. From our point of view, this is not an ordinary trade show. Attendees come to M+P Tech Expo with a purpose: They are looking for solutions to their gear manufacturing challenges, so be prepared to do business. Highlighting our booth will be the G211 and the MAXXOS mandrels. With our G211, you are relying on a standard segmented mandrel. The rigid and narrow mandrel with optimized tool runout contour is ideal for gear-cutting applications. Three end-stop levels make it possible to use individual workpiece end-stops. The G211 is ideal for gear hobbing, but it can also be used for gear cutting or gear grinding. The new MAXXOS has a hexagonal pyramid shape, perfect for demanding manufacturing.

Our measuring system KNM 5X will be introduced at MPT Expo. The KNM 5X (like the KNM 2X) is equipped with active air damping and thermal comp eliminating effects of shop floor conditions. Penta Gear Metrology highlights its functional and analytical gear inspection hardware for shop-floor use, as well as the latest generation evaluation software (PentaSoft). Attendees will also learn the technology of superfinishing gears.
