Drewco supplies the major manufacturing industries, such as aerospace, automotive, energy, defense, mining, and agriculture, with workholding and specifically gear workholding. The Drewco team works with OEMs, tier one suppliers, machine tool builders, and commodity buyers.
The company also handles many projects directly for machine tool builders and is often a part of turnkey projects.
Drewco produces a full range of products needed for gear generation. Whether it’s turning, grinding, hobbing, shaping, shaving, skiving, milling, or inspecting, the company regularly works with customers to create chucks, hydraulic and solid arbors, collets, and machining center fixtures that will either allow their new machine to perform at its full capacity or reduce the setup time and increase the run-time of their existing machines.
Drewco often works with customers who need to produce a wide range of gear sizes, many being very large, and in small quantities. Drewco has developed pedestal-type fixtures that have given its customers positive results, a major reduction in setup time, and valuable increases in production run-time. Traditionally, these have been fixtures on machines that can expand collets and face clamp parts through the activation of the machine’s draw bar.
