Dayton Gear partnered with Helios Gear Products to install a new Hera 200 CNC gear hobber, followed shortly after by a Hera 500 CNC gear hobber.
Helios checked in with Adam Baird and Brian Baird, third generation at Dayton Gear, to see how their production has changed since the installation, and how they’re planning and looking forward to the future.
“The productivity those things put out is insane. Say a part took 30 minutes on one of our old machines, the Hera 200 is cutting the part in two minutes; it’s that big of a difference,” said Brian Baird. After experiencing the productivity gains of the Hera 200, “it just proved the point even more to go with the Hera 500,” he said.
Dayton Gear specializes in gear cutting and gearbox repair and rebuilding services. Brian Baird reflects on his vision for Dayton’s future as “everybody’s dream is to have their shop function as a well-oiled machine, and every single year we’re making the right strides to get to that dream.”
Helios continues to support gear manufacturers like Dayton Gear with expert applications engineering support for machines, consumable tools, and automation systems.
