Milwaukee Gear always has taken a proactive approach to our customers' needs. Every year, we increase our percentage of revenue invested in machine tools, equipment and staff training to guarantee we can deliver custom gears the industry requires.

Our annual capital expenditures continue to increase our manufacturing capabilities with the latest technology enabling us to maintain cost and lead time. Our most recent acquisitions are detailed below.

Our new Gleason Pfauter 1600 Profile Grinding Machine increases our external tooth grinding range from 1200mm diameter to 1600mm diameter. The Gleason Pfauter's greater accuracy to meet higher AGMA classes while reducing setup costs and tooling expenses.

We recently added in-house balancing to our comprehensive services by purchasing a new American Hofman Corp. HD-22.1D balancing system. The American Hofman can handle bull gears up to 2500 pounds and up to 47 inches in diameter.

We upgraded our grinding capabilities with our new Springfield model 36 CNC Bore Grinder. The CNC holds tolerances of .0005 in. for improved accuracy. It is easier to operate for more efficient production times. It also increases the size capacity Milwaukee Gear can grind from a 35-in. diameter to a 42-in. diameter.
