Workholding Solutions
Gleason designs and manufactures a complete line of workholding equipment for bevel gear cutting and grinding applications. Designs are both mechanical and hydraulic and include quick change features for both Gleason and non-Gleason spindles. Tapered and/or ball sleeve designs ensure repeatability of both axial and radial runout. Mechanical safety features are also designed into the equipment to prevent over-travel. In addition to design and manufacture of workholding equipment Gleason also offers application engineering services, development programs, hands-on seminars, gage certification, and repair programs.
