Gear Manufacturers Offering A Full Service
Design
DePe’s core business is manufacturing quality bespoke gears to precise customer specification. We also provide technical assistance on all aspects of gear related issues. DePe’s technical team has over sixty years of hands on experience in gearbox design and related applications. Our engineers are on standby to assist customers with every aspect of gear, transmission and drive-train projects. For example, we are currently heavily engaged in developing prototype solutions for electric vehicles, military transports and deep well pumping systems.
Prototyping
Low volume gear manufacturing is our speciality. This includes the development of prototypes for new and trial applications, either designed by ourselves or built to customer
specifications.
The use of internal gear grinding to produce internal helical gears has been used extensively in prototypes for electric vehicles. We offer cost effective solutions for electric vehicles, epicyclic gearboxes & OEM's.
Production
As leading gear manufacturers we have over 50 production machines. These machines range from our two Hofler CNC 1250XLs with internal gear grinding for spur and helical gears and splines through to 5 axis live tool CNC machines. Our plant portfolio consists of extensive gear hobbing, gear cutting, gear machining slotting, boring and grinding . For more information see our capacity list.
CMM quality control
We have two high technology coordinate measuring machines for capturing dimensions and independent verification of standards, profiles and quality.
In a temperature and humidity controlled environment our leading edge Brown and Sharp multi-sensor CMM machine with pallet loading can measure any object up to 900x1500x800mm.
Similarly, our CNC Wenzel LH2015 gear profile checker also delivers micron accuracy on gears up to 2500mm diameter.
Technical support
DePe’s team is available to discuss all aspects of customer’s gear cutting, grinding, shaping, hobbing, machining and manufacturing needs.
Reverse engineering
Where necessary, if drawings are not available, DePe’s CMMs can be used to generate new drawings from used or old sample gears. This can help so that they can be re-conditioned or new ones made.
