Manufacture
Worm reduction gears on your CNC milling machines with no special
tooling
Conventionally,
Worm reduction gear sets have always been made on dedicated
gear hobbing / shaping machines using dedicated tooling
& cutters. These machines are excellent for mass production
of gear sets. However, small companies can not afford
to invest in these machines especially if their core product
is something other than gear manufacture.
Due to the wide spread usage of 4 and 5 axis VMC’s
& turning centers with C & Y axis, it is now possible,
with the right software, to make any worm reduction gear
set.
There
is no need for any special tooling or cutters, all that
is required is a standard end mill. Manufacture of large
size gears is possible on relatively small multi axis
VMC’s & Turning Centers with C & Y axis.
Hence even mass production costs for larger gear sets
actually work out cheaper by this novel method of manufacture!
Furthermore, in the case of special components, the gear
profile can be machined as part of the component itself,
especially on a CNC lathe with C & Y axis, along with
the other turning operations! No need to machine splines
/ keyways or fasten the gear on to your driving / driven
shaft.

Our service
is aimed at those machine shops that do not have gear hobbing
machines & thread whirling machines, but own 4 & 5 axis
VMC's or CNC turning centers / CNC lathes with C & Y axis.
This is an
ideal method of manufacture of Prototypes, small / medium batches,
replacements etc. The tool paths are extremely accurate &
optimised for maximum productivity, keeping the cutter engaged
with the component with minimum air cutting. Read

We are
the pioneers in the design & manufacture of Metering
& Dosing pumps in India & are located in Mumbai.
Our company was established in 1965. More details of our
products & abilities are available on our parent website
www.shapotools.com
In 2004 we invested in our first set of CNC machines, a
Turning machine & a VMC. Each of our tailor made pumps
require close to a hundred individual components to be manufactured.
We have a large variety of pump models, and the mammoth
task of writing & implementing the part programs for
each of these components was entrusted to me.
