Gleason’s IMTS exhibit will feature the latest developments in gear design, manufacturing, and inspection technology, including closed-loop manufacturing and lights-out production, complemented by the Gleason Digital Ecosystem. Gleason’s gear technology experts will be available to discuss specific applications, such as the manufacture of gears for humanoid robots, aerospace and energy industries, as well as solutions addressing other key global trends shaping the future of gear manufacturing.
Gleason experts will be showcasing the technologies, processes, and manufacturing expertise that enable the production of the high-precision gears required for the rapidly growing humanoid robotics market. From typical humanoid robotic gear designs in KISSsoft and GEMS, such as strain wave gears, planetary gearboxes and small bevel gears, new 80PS power skiving and hobbing machine and 100C bevel gear cutting machine, to addressing a large range of robotic gears, as well as the 175GMS nano for fine pitch applications.
Other topics and highlights include:
- KISSsoft® Release 2026 offers the design and optimization of gears and transmissions, complemented by integrated system-level analysis. New features include flexibly configurable maps, support for REXS V1.7, new hob types, updated calculations for plastic gears, and more.
- Live demonstrations of the P600/800G profile grinding machine, which provides exceptional versatility for the hard finishing of external and internal gears, worms and long shafts.
- Demonstrations of the 300GMSP nano gear metrology system, a powerful metrology solution for measuring submicron surface finishes with skidless probe technology.
- Advanced closed loop systems for highly automated production environments. Integrated solutions combine manufacturing, automation, gear inspection and digital process integration.
- Intra DFT double flank testing systems provide fast, reliable, and production-ready gear quality verification. By simulating real operating conditions and capturing composite deviations in a single efficient test, the systems deliver immediate insight into gear performance.
- CRITERION analysis software provides the foundation for accurate and reliable gear inspection and analysis and is included with intra single and double flank testing systems.
- A comprehensive portfolio of functional gauges, master gears, variable spline gauges, go/no-go rings and plugs, as well as setting and calibration masters.
- The QFS quick flex system display will include advanced hydraulic and mechanical workholding systems for productive machining, LeCount® expanding arbors for inspection applications, and customized solutions for special workpiece and process requirements.
- Grinding and honing applications, which often offer significant potential to improve quality, tool life, and cost. Gleason dressing tools support higher productivity and consistently high results in hard finishing.
- Gleason HSS and carbide power skiving tools combine high productivity with long tool life.
The Gleason exhibit will be at Booth 236909, North Building, Level 3.
