Oerlikon Bevel Gear Technology
Design and optimization of high-performance bevel gear sets
The KIMoS (Klingelnberg Integrated Manufacturing of Spiral Bevel Gears) software package supports every step in bevel gear design and optimization. KOMET calculates corrections for machine settings and, where required, tool data to minimize measured variations on the ground tooth flanks. As part of this process, all necessary data for the bevel gears to be produced are prepared in parallel for the cutting process, tool preparation, and quality control. Convenient data handling provides a way both to make use of freely definable development databases in the development phase and to make production-approved data from the production database available to the production and measuring machines used in the process. The software package thus provides the optimal basis for ultra-modern bevel gear production according to the closed-loop method: The end result precisely matches what was previously designed and optimized on the computer.
