This interesting article in Gear Technology India takes us through the evolution of gear grinding technology. From the days when it relied upon manual operations all the way to today’s latest ‘cutting edge’ automated solutions.
In the early days of reliance on skilled labour, there was inevitably both a lack of consistency and efficiency. This literally couldn’t ‘cut it’ in today with the requirement for ultra-high specifications in sectors such as aerospace and EV production.
The article takes us through the journey as we go from reliance on the skills of the operative to the most advanced technology we see today.
It’s a remarkable journey with many notable landmarks along the way. It illustrates just how gear grinding has adapted with the demands placed upon it as it evolved in tandem with manufacturing requirements.
It’ a journey from the industrial revolution to the space age era. It shows how the development and innovation of gear grinding is inextricably linked to shaping the very future of the gear industry. Trace that journey here.
