Industrial Gear Manufacturing Equipment at KNGEAR

Gear and gearbox quality depends on more than design calculations. Tooth accuracy, shaft geometry, housing alignment, surface finish and dimensional inspection all depend on the manufacturing and measuring equipment used throughout production. KNGEAR uses dedicated gear manufacturing and precision machining equipment to support custom gears and industrial gearbox projects.

KAPP NILES Gear Grinding

Gear grinding is used where high tooth accuracy, controlled profile geometry and a fine finished surface are required after heat treatment. KAPP NILES gear grinding equipment supports precision finishing of hardened gears used in demanding industrial drive applications.

Gleason Gear Hobbing

Gear hobbing is a core process for producing external gear teeth. High-speed hobbing equipment supports efficient and repeatable machining of spur and helical gears before heat treatment and final finishing.

Kuraki CNC Horizontal Boring and Milling

Large gearbox housings require accurate bearing bores, mounting faces and center distances. CNC horizontal boring and milling capability is important for maintaining alignment between shafts and bearings, particularly on large custom or replacement gearboxes.

Vertical and Horizontal CNC Machining Centers

Machining centers are used for shafts, housings, covers, flanges and other gearbox components. CNC machining allows critical interfaces and mounting dimensions to be produced consistently from engineering drawings or reverse-engineered data.

Coordinate Measuring Machine Inspection

Dimensional inspection verifies machined features before assembly. Coordinate measuring equipment can be used to check bore positions, center distances, mounting interfaces and other critical geometry so that parts fit correctly during gearbox assembly.

How Equipment Capability Supports Gearbox Quality

• Repeatable gear tooth geometry and surface finish
• Accurate shaft and bearing alignment
• Controlled housing bore and mounting dimensions
• Verification of replacement and reverse-engineered components
• Consistent inspection records before assembly
