In a recent press release, Aero Gear, Inc., announced that it has installed a Kapp VUG-432 gear grinder at its Windsor, Connecticut, plant. This machine provides the capability for both internal and external gear grinding using CBN wheels. The company–which has been involved in the manufacture of aerospace gearing for more than 20 years–purchased the machine to increase its grinding versatility. Aero Gear can now grind external gears using wheel diameters as small as 35mm, and internal splines will be ground using wheels down to 16mm.

"The addition of this state-of-the-art grinding equipment will allow us to more efficiently grind the cluster gears that we produce, while meeting our customers’ quality requirements," says John McDermott, vice president.
