Gleason manufactures gear honing machines for EVs and high-mix production. This page goes over its products and their strengths.

The strengths of Gleason's honing machines

Honing stones and tools developed in-house

Gleason designs and manufactures its own honing stones and dressing tools. Its Opti-Form® ring honing stones have shapes that make them easy to process with right from the start. They also have diamond electroplated tools for shaping honing stones. These tools reprocess honing stone surfaces, enabling repeated use.

Shortening setup times and reducing tool costs

Gleason's machines shorten honing stone preparation times so processing can be started even faster. Honing stones can be replaced without using special tools, enabling consistent operation that is not reliant on specific operators. Reusing tools also keeps down tool costs.

Applications of Gleason's honing machines

Gleason's gear honing tools can make fine adjustments to gear faces while processing is in progress, so they're highly suited for components that require precise finishes, like the motor gears and drive trains of EVs. A single machine can be used to process workpieces of various shapes and sizes, so these devices flexibly support high-mix production.

Device capabilities and manufacturer support requirements vary from business to business, differing for precision components, large components and heavy industry, and component repair and processing.

We have carefully selected the honing machines that are best suited to companies based on the features and challenges of their varied businesses, freeing them from needing to rely on specific operators. Please use the information on this site in your comparisons and deliberations.

Gear honing machines for EVs and high-mix production sites

Gleason's honing machines support a wide range of workpieces, from shaft components and large-diameter, heavy workpieces to compact workpieces with complex shapes. This model has an adjustable angle B axis that can make adjustments to tooth faces during processing. It reduces the operation workload involved in changing set-ups while producing high-precision finishes. These products are highly suited for worksites that perform high-mix production and for processing step pinions for EVs.

Gleason's maintenance system and after-sales support

Providing speedy support from four sites in India

Gleason has four business offices in India, in Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, and Pune. The Bengaluru and Chennai offices also have service centers, so the company can quickly respond to problems and perform maintenance after equipment is installed.

Remote and automated alerts help prevent machine problems

In addition to online remote support, Gleason also provides its machines with preventative maintenance action (PMA) functions that issue notifications when it is time to perform maintenance. They automatically inform users when work needs to be performed, and maintenance management can be performed using procedures which include videos and photos.
