In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, it appears that ‘going green’ with gear manufacturing may be the way of the future. Gear manufacturing decisions are based on cost, function and quality, and it seems that green manufacturing may encompass a broad spectrum of economically sound solutions that could not only improve process efficiency and reduce costs, but also conserve energy and resources.

People in manufacturing understand the importance of technical drawings. Good technical drawings can often reduce the risk of significant delays in production as well as guard against the danger of ending up with an inaccurate gear. Technical drawings must be accurate, and drafted according to industry standards, whether they be for one off or mass production.

We are proud to be the official Gold Sponsor of the forthcoming Austmine Networking Series – an event that will not only bring the gear manufacturing and mining industries together but will also present topical information about the current state of affairs in Australian exporting. Austmine is the peak body representing the export sector of the Australian Mining Technology, Equipment and Services sector.

Flying in the face of declining Australian manufacturing, the team at Ronson Gears is not only ready to meet the export manufacturing challenge, but is providing the Australian market and the local gear manufacturing industry with an immensely important facility.

En route to an AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) board meeting, Gordon New called in to Vancouver, Canada. Fresh off the plane, he enthuses about his visit to Vangear – a leading provider in specialty gear manufacturing services with impressively large production capacity that includes 175 custom gear manufacturing machines housed in a 60,000 square-foot facility.

It goes without saying that choosing the right gear material for gear manufacturing will result in a superior product, and by default, extend the life performance of your application.

If you’ve known Ronson Gears long enough, you are well aware of our commitment to new technology and our ongoing dedication to research and investment in a variety of equipments, some of which is ‘non-productive’.

Quality is the name of the game in gear manufacturing. If not manufactured to the highest standards in the first place, the end result can be a massive cost and immense inconvenience. The AGMA has a comprehensive list of documents, white papers and technical papers available which clearly define the standards and necessity for precision gearing.

We came across yet another interesting video this week...

We are extremely excited to announce that we have taken receipt of a new machine this week, a Fellows FS630-200 CNC Internal Gear Shaper straight from the USA! This new machine can cut internal gears up to 650mm in diameter and 200mm face width, is CNC controlled and will be fully commissioned in the first week of August.
