Drake Manufacturing Services invites customers and friends to their booth #468 at GEAR EXPO October 7-10 at Cobo Center in Detroit. Manufacturers are encouraged to discuss their unique gear production challenges with Drake application engineers who will be on hand to offer solutions using a variety of Drake machines and automation systems:
• Linear Motor Profile Gear Grinders: CNC finish grind gears in one setup—to AGMA 14—with fast changeover. Machine easily handles small batch production.
• Linear Motor Worm Grinders: grind single and multi-start worms—ZK, ZI, ZN, ZA or free form—6 arc second index capable.
• Steering Rack Milling Machines: auto load production cell machine—mill racks in 35 seconds to a 0.4 Ra finish.
• Gear Hobber Retrofits: in-field “brain transplants” or complete remanufacture in Drake’s shop.
Attendees involved with steering systems should definitely visit the booth. Drake has developed machines, software, and automation solutions for producing each major component in modern parallel axis or worm gear systems. Information, sample parts, software demos, and video will be available on all Drake gear production systems.
Drake Manufacturing designs, builds and services state-of-the-art precision CNC grinding, rack milling and gear hobbing machines that help maximize productivity, improve quality and reduce production costs for a wide variety of demanding applications.
