Equipment Upgrades

Few companies today can remain competitive by operating gear-making machines below their peak efficiencies. Some companies keep pace by continuously making the investment in new machines and the latest technology. Others opt for the next best thing: working with the Gleason Service and Support team to ensure that their existing Gleason equipment is always operating at its original, like-new level.

Only Gleason offers:

• Machine upgrade programs:
  The performance, reliability and efficiency of most existing Gleason machines can be significantly improved through an upgrade program that includes the right combination of the latest CNC controls, assemblies, work spindles, tooling, and new processes.

• Recontrol, retrofit, rebuild:
  Upgrade controllers and software to current technology

• Complete rebuilding, remanufacturing:
  Gleason technicians have the experience and tools (special gages, fixturing, etc.) to return your existing machines to “like new” condition and long-term performance.

  Depending on the scope of the project, the work can be done either on-site or at a Gleason manufacturing site. Gleason rebuild experience runs the gamut: straight and spiral bevel generators, hobbers, shapers, grinders, lappers, testers, quenching machines, cutter sharpeners, and others.
