Heat-treated precision gear and rack are required drive components for today’s high cycling equipment used in body welding systems and lift and transfer systems. Precision gear and rack are required because commercial (catalog) gear and rack are not held to the close tolerances needed for automotive body welding systems. Quality heat treatment allows these components to operate at high speeds and high cycle rates (16-20 hrs/day and 50 weeks/year) and provides substantial wear life.
