Helios Offers IndustryLeading Delivery of Custom Gear-Cutting Tools
As Helios Gear Products continues to grow and expand their gear cutting tool offerings, their unparalleled application engineering support and competitive lead times are helping manufacturers deliver during supply chain instability. With globally competitive pricing and proven domestic support from the expert Helios team, custom cutting tools are being delivered in weeks, not months, keeping job shops and high-production manufacturers competitive. From hobbing to shaping, power skiving, worm milling, and more, Helios is supporting manufacturing with tool design and delivery needs, production estimates, reverse engineering, process optimization, and fixture design expertise.
“We were able to get the tools and create the parts, and finish them, in a very short timeframe that nobody else would've been able to do… so without Helios’ help we wouldn't have been able to produce those parts in the 8-10 weeks that they required, which usually would’ve taken anywhere from 16-24 weeks“ said Pete Dimascio at Delta research. With applications engineers on-call for custom gear-cutting tool design, gear manufacturers can receive dedicated domestic support for engineered solutions right when they need it. reflecting on a recent delivery, Jared Lyford from Forest City Gear says, "these are solid carbide tools with custom proportions, so these are special tools. The performance has been nothing but stellar. I would say 40% better tool life than the
incumbent." Helios welcomes new gear-cutting tool design challenges and is excited to continue to support North American manufacturers with unrivaled gear-cutting tool solutions.

Jergens Inc. Introduces New Cast Iron Tooling Columns For Horizontal Machining Center Productivity
Jergens introduces its newest cast iron tooling columns that offer maximum rigidity. The key to this performance is single piece cast iron construction. These columns are made in the U.S.A., increase horizontal machining potential, and provide a solid basis for custom workholding to suit specific customer needs.
Several mounting options are possible including direct, with center pin locating or edge locating, and also quickchange applications via ZPS with K20 pull studs and 4 module subplate. New column styles include square, cross, and rectangular. The square and cross styles are well suited for high density multi-part fixtures or incorporating multiple operations into a single column. The cross style allows the added benefit of increased spindle access near the column, eliminating the need for extra-long tools. The larger upright faces of the rectangular columns are ideal for applications involving larger workpieces.
Column construction uses stress relieved, class 40 cast iron, with the base and sides milled flat, perpendicular, and parallel within .001"/ft. providing an accurate foundation on which to setup workholding devices or quick-change systems. What does this spec translate to for customer use? other features include a center locating bore, inch, and metric hole patterns, m12 lifting holes for secure hoist ring attachment.
With technical staff support, Jergens tooling columns are customizable as well as easily integrated into full custom design and build projects. Popular patterns and methods include tapped grid, bushed, and tapped grid for modular fixturing applications, or for quick-change, add either ball Lock® receiver bushings or ZPS modules.
