Abstract:  
Indiana Tool / Indiana Gear has provided manufacturing services to a global market for nearly 50 years. We provide precision machining services from one piece prototypes to volume production pieces of up to 1,000 units per month. Our capabilities range from mining gearing to production runs of CBN ground transmission gears. One of the highlights of our gear manufacturing facility is our Phauter-Kapp gear grinder. Not only can this machine grind coarse pitch external gearing, but it can also grind internal helical gearing. Customers have taken advantage of this unique capability in applications ranging from severe duty planetary systems to high speed turbine gearing.
