当社の包括的なソリューションは、問題の原因を根本から解決しました。主なステップとして、 初期材料をより焼入性の高い20CrMnMoH に置き換えました。それに加えて、ブースト段階の炭素ポテンシャルを1.15% から 1.05% に下げることで浸炭プロセスを微調整し、より制御されたケースを実現しました。焼入れ治具も均一な冷却を保証するものに変更されました。 This precision-focused process enabled consistent quality and gear cost control.
Results and Value
The newly implemented process made it possible to bring the unit gear manufacturing cost down to ¥135, thus making a 25% saving. Heat treatment distortion was limited to within 0.015mm thus cutting the scrap rate to 0.8%. The client was therefore able to save ¥900, 000 annually. In addition, the superior microstructure led to a longer gear life of 10, 000 hours, thus providing not only greater benefits but also effectively solving the fundamental issue of reduce gear manufacturing cost without compromise.

How Can Design Optimization Reduce Gear Manufacturing Costs?
Real cost reduction comes not only from the shop floor but also from the design stage, where as much as 70% of the final gear manufacturing cost is committed, hence the need to design for manufacture. Design for Manufacture (DFM) strategies focusing on a balanced combination of the macro geometry, micro, geometry, and material utilization have enough leeway for the necessary performance retention and achievement of significant savings. This gear cost guide that you are holding in your hands reveals the systematic approach of a cost, effective design:
System-Level Parameter Optimization for Strength-to-Cost Ratio
We evaluate the whole, system effect of macro-parameters such as module and face width. Let us take increasing the module from 2.5 to 3 as an example. This change may increase the raw material cost by 15%, but at the same time, it can increase the bending strength by more than 40%, which means that it may be possible to correspondingly reduce the face width or the material grade to get a net lower custom gear cost while still meeting the load requirements.
Micro-Geometry Modification for Performance and Post-Processing Savings
Applying targeted profile and lead crowning (e.g., 8m crown) during the design phase is a great cost, control measure. This in, built optimization compensates for assembly misalignments and load, induced deflections, thereby reducing the noise level of the operation by 3dB or even more. This eliminates the need for expensive running, in adjustments or selective assembly, thus, making the final precision gear machining process more straightforward.
Integrated Cost Modeling for Informed Design Decisions
We use a proprietary cost model to measure the impact of a design change on manufacturing. In a reducer gear project, an integrated analysis combining geometry, material, andhard gear machining process requirements revealed optimization moves that not only cut unit costs by 80 but also ensured that noise standards were met, hence proving that smart design is a powerful lever to control the final gear manufacturing cost.

This method provides a systematic, data-driven framework for design and cost engineering. Leveraging these principles, we help our customers to make well, considered trade, offs during the design stage, gradually reduce gear manufacturing cost in a systematic way, and prevent expensive reruns, thus, the product is optimally valued right from the start.
