Add to the mix strong service and training support and you’ve found the blueprint for future success in gear grinding. “Customers are struggling to find trained personnel,” Miller said. “Setup time is a huge variable of equipment utilization and that focus will continue. Equipment reliability, expert training and support are perennial requirements.” “Our customers attach an ever increasing importance to process automation,” said Landi at Samputensili, “which is and will be a strategic feature in gear grinding for years to come.” Sidebar: IMTS Impressions Now that gear industry suppliers have returned from the trade show circuit, Gear Technology was curious what they thought about IMTS 2012: “We were very pleased with the traffic in our booth and it was evident early on in the week that attendance for this year’s show had jumped significantly over 2010,” said Mark Parillo, director of marketing at Star SU. “The general pulse of our visitors was very positive leaving us with many reasons to be encouraged heading out of IMTS and into the coming year.” “IMTS was well attended and the weather always seems to cooperate to make this a significant week,” said Bill Miller, vice president of sales at Kapp Technologies. “I can only assume the other gear pavilion exhibitors were also satisfied, although our booth activity didn’t permit even a short tour.” “We found IMTS 2012 to be generally positive and upbeat, although it seemed like overall attendance dwindled as The MHI ZE40A was designed for both table and grinding spindles and offers gear accuracy within its diameter capacity of 400 mm (courtesy of Mitsubishi).
