The Alvier helical gear molding system, which enables high-pressure molding of high-load helical gears such as transmission gears, has been introduced at the Heganes POP Center.

In October 2009, a new customer support service center called the PoP (Power of Powder) center was opened at Heganes, where the innovative helical gear molding system from Alvier, a leading European manufacturer of powder metallurgy molds (Switzerland), has been introduced and is actively used for the prototyping of sintered transmission gears. This system breaks the common belief that high-pressure molding cannot be done for high-load helical gears, such as transmission gears (due to the bearings in the rotating mechanism not being able to withstand it), enabling high-density molding of over 7.4g/cc and allowing for faster molding than before. As a result, new capabilities for prototyping and testing evaluation of high-load helical gears have been added, facilitating the development of sintered transmission gears for our customers. Japanese customers are also very welcome to use this service. Why not try it out first and experience its capabilities for yourself?
