ITAMCO Adds Large Gear Grinder to Wind Energy Capabilities

摘要

Plymouth, Indiana. Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO) has integrated a Niles ZP 40 gear grinder into its gearing capabilities for wind turbine manufacturers. The ZP 40 grinder is capable of profile grinding external and internal gears with diameters up to 4,000 mm and face-width gears up to 1,750 mm, making it ideal for large planetary systems for wind turbine gearboxes. "We purchased the ZP 40 gear grinder as an enhancement of our services, but its capabilities are another benefit for our wind turbine OEMs that want a turnkey solution," said David Neidig, Business Development for ITAMCO. "We're one of the few US facilities that can do it all, from cutting to finishing, even heat treating and shot peening."
