One week.

This course will provide instruction in the theory and practical application of techniques for the development of Pinion Tooth Contacts to mate with Gleason FORMATE^™ hypoid bevel gears. Pinion finishing with fixed settings method will be taught. Explanation of spiral bevel development will also be discussed, if requested. Terminology, blank checking, first and second order development changes will be also explained and demonstrated. In addition, the observation of tooth geometry relating to Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA) computer output will be demonstrated. Practical experience will be given in the setup and operation of Gleason generators and testers.
