PRODUCTION & INSPECTION
From production to inspection
Equipment, process control and inspection records safeguard consistency from material through delivery.
Surface grinding
Datum and mounting faces are ground first to establish a stable basis for tooth processing, heat treatment and inspection.
Rack-tooth milling
Module, tooth form and pitch govern cutter position, tooth-space consistency and machining allowance.
Induction hardening
Heating, travel, cooling and distortion are controlled to achieve tooth hardness and wear resistance.
Five-face machining
A five-face machining centre completes long-rack profiles, mounting faces, hole patterns and end interfaces with fewer set-ups.
Rack-tooth grinding
Dedicated rack grinders finish tooth profile, lead and pitch under controlled cooling for precision transmission.
Precision inspection
CMM, tooth-profile, pitch and manual checks verify dimensions, tooth accuracy, hardness and mounting interfaces.
