Manufacturing has been the backbone of Indiana’s economy since the early 1960s. And manufacturers in a variety of industries including life sciences, auto industry, information technology, transportation, and research & design are major contributors that keep the economy moving. In fact, Indiana’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is forecasted to increase 2.8% percent in 2018, compared to the 2.2% growth in 2015, according to a recent economic analysis published the Indiana Business Review. Because the manufacturing industry in Indiana relies heavily on sophisticated machinery, keeping down-time to a minimum is a strategic goal of all manufacturers.
When a gear on an important machine wears out or breaks getting an emergency gear replacement as quickly as possible from a reputable gear manufacturer is the key to minimizing production delays. But in order for the replacement gear to work flawlessly, the gear manufacturer must be able to produce an identical gear using high quality, industrial-grade materials. Riverside Spline is a leading ISO 9001:2008 certified gear manufacturer with a complete gear manufacturing facility that offers a variety of in-house services including hobbing, grinding and milling to replicate an identical replacement gear.
Hobbing is an important service for emergency gear replacement. We use state-of-the-art hobbers which are specialized machinery that can cut gears up to 50 inches in length and up to35.4 inches in diameter with a crown or taper cut. We have a supply of standard, metric and pre-grind hobs to fabricate any emergency gear replacement job quickly with precision accuracy.
Our milling center includes both manual and automatic mills that operate day and night for any emergency gear replacement project. Operated by skilled machinists, our milling cutters are like end mills that have cutting surfaces across their entire end surface which enable machinists to drill them into the gear.
Like hobbing and milling, gear grinding is an important part of the gear manufacturing process. During grinding, we have four precision grinding machines that operate 23 hours per day for emergency gear replacement. Our grinding capabilities include surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, and creep-feed grinding. These are important components for ensuring your gear replacement will fit perfectly on your machine upon arrival.
