This introductory course is intended to familiarize the trainee with spur, helical, bevel and hypoid gear nomenclature, the cutting methods used in Gleason machines and the tooling and processes used in gear manufacturing. The course uses lectures, visual examples, question and answer periods.

Both engineering and manufacturing personnel requiring a basic working knowledge of the subjects included in the course.

The following four subjects will be covered during each class. They are not available as separate courses.

1. Technical discussions covering nomenclature, the various types and classifications of gears, their meshing characteristics, the cutting methods used to produce bevel and hypoid gears and pinions, blank tolerances and configurations required to produce good gear sets in Gleason machines. Also covered will be the basic concept of inspection and testing of spur, helical, bevel and hypoid gears.
2. Cutters and Cutting Tools: Description of various types of Gleason face mill, face hob, REVACYCLE® and straight bevel gear cutters. The lecture will cover terminology, identification and ordering systems, assembly, truing and mounting of face mill and face hob cutters.
3. Workholding Equipment and Arbor Maintenance: Discussions of applications of TANLINE®, X-PANDISK®, VERS-GRIP® and UNI-SPAND® equipment will be presented.
4. Fundamentals of Heat Treatment: Basic metallurgical discussion concerning terminology of heat treatment, volumetric changes, distortions and residual stresses in heat treated gears with possible causes and corrective actions.
