The Challenge
Precision Demands in Miniature Gear Manufacturing: Crafting precise miniature gears, measuring a mere 5mm in diameter, with intricate tooth patterns, demanded ultra-precise tolerances of ±0.002mm. Achieving such microscopic precision presented a significant challenge.
The Solution
Employing high-precision CNC machining with micro-tooling and ultra-high-speed spindles, allowing intricate and accurate tooth profiling.
Utilizing specialized alloys with enhanced hardness and wear resistance to ensure gear longevity and performance. In addition, in order to minimize the impact of the material itself on the finished product, heat treatment is performed before processing.
Implementing continuous inspection cycles, including laser measurement systems and 3D scanning, to ensure each gear met the exacting tolerances.
Standardize the documentation of the process, fixtures and tools used. Before each production, the fixtures and tools must be inspected firstly. Ensure that the quality of this Gear is stable every time it is produced.
