DMG Mori Seiki’s gearMill CAM software programs multitasking machines for a variety of gear operations, including machining spiral bevel gears. According to the company, the software does not require a solid model of the gear and can program the gear with data from the part print. The software visually applies profile modifications such as profile and lead crowing. Gears can be machined using a five-axis process or the Invomilling process, and standard tools can be used independent of the geometry of the gear profile.
