SUMMARY:Operator Gear Grinding
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\n\n\n\nFormat: Live Online Course \n\n\n\nDate: July 21-22\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, July 21 – 10:00-2:00pm CT\n\n\n\nWednesday\, July 22 – 10:00-2:00pm CT\n\n\n\n\nOperator Gear Grinding\n\n\n\nExplore precision gear grinding processes\, machine input variables\, kinematics and Gear Geometry in Part A\, Grinding Simulator\, machine alignment\, setup errors\, pitfalls\, common gear fatigue failures and expectations related to finish ground gearing in Part B.  Learn definitions of gearing component features\, application loads and process steps from blanking\, through heat treatment to finished part ready to ship.  Study aspects of Quality Assurance\, Inspection Documentation and corrective actions for measured non-conformances.  Understand pre-heat treat\, heat treatment distortion and post heat treatment operations including the how’s and why’s to produce finished gears that conform and perform to end user expectations.  Calculate gear form grinding cycle times for real life examples for various accuracy levels on commercially available software. \n\n\n\nThe Operator Level courses are made possible through the generous support of the AGMA Foundation. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in educating the industry!  \n\n\n\nThis course is online. A webcam on your computer equipped with a microphone and speakers/headset are required for participation. Space is limited to 20-25 participants per course. Course materials will be mailed in hard copy. Please make sure to indicate your preferred mailing address in the registration process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\nCourse outline (PDF)\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $600(Deadline until 5/7/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $650(Deadline: 5/8/26 – 6/23/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $675(Deadline: 6/24/26 – 7/7/26) \n\n\n\nNON-MEMBER RATE\n\n\n\nEarly Bird Registrant – $700(Deadline until 5/7/26) \n\n\n\nRegular Registrant – $750(Deadline: 5/8/26 – 6/23/26) \n\n\n\nLate Registrant – $775(Deadline: 6/24/26 – 7/7/26) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will earn 8 clock hours upon completion of the course and they will be listed on your certificate of completion.\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nBe able to ask questions of gear designers and manufacturing engineers to acquire all information required to produce conforming finished gears\n\n\n\nUnderstand basic and advanced gear tooth geometry\, loads and target accuracy\n\n\n\nReview and challenge control of part datums through 5 gear processing steps\, use datum’s consistently through all operations given part process prints\n\n\n\nAnticipate and correct for part distortion during heat treatment knowing the actual heat treatment process used.\n\n\n\nUnderstand gear geometry and typical field failures\, achieve compliance with finished parts to meet print requirements and customer performance expectations\n\n\n\nSelect tooth grinding parameters Qw\, metal removal rate and Vw\, volumetric limit for dressing given part print\, heat treatment and grinding wheel specification used\n\n\n\nUnderstand gear grinding kinematics for both form and generating machines\n\n\n\nLearn about gear performance optimization techniques used to optimize power density\n\n\n\nAccurately measure pre and post finish gear tooth Helix\, Profile and tooth thickness given finished tooth geometry specifications and modifications calculated from Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis\n\n\n\nReview calculations on form grinding cycle times based on various target accuracies\, Qw material removal rate\, Vw volumetric limit for dressing and grinding techniques\n\n\n\nAvoid and detect the presence of Twist Error\n\n\n\nAvoid and detect presence of grind burn temper\n\n\n\nAvoid typical gear fatigue failure modes\, bending fracture\, macro-pitting and micro-pitting resulting from improper tooth finishing\n\n\n\nIdentify common non-conformances\, causes and re-create them on gear grinder models\, apply problem solving techniques and corrective actions suggested in trouble shooting guide provided with course material”\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\nThis course would be of interest to both entry and high level generating and form gear grind operators\, inspectors\, process Engineers and quality assurance people who need to better understand why and how gear designs are optimized and how to work with non-standard gear geometry.  The course would also benefit pre-finishing operators by understanding part datum control and subsequent gear finishing processes.  Participants can also gain insight on how improper finishing techniques can contribute to premature gear failures.  Entry level gear designers\, process and manufacturing engineers can develop a basic understanding of gear finishing cycles\, cycle times and cost.  Gear manufacturing project managers and production managers can develop a better understanding of time required to set up and finish high performance gear sets that will meet or exceed application expectations.   \n\n\n\nInstructors\n\n\n\nTerry Klaves\n\nTerry Klaves semi-retired from the Milwaukee Gear Division of Regal Beloit in 2017 after 45 years of work in the gearing industry with four different companies\, positions varying from gear engineer to VP of Engineering and responsibilities including gear design\, optimization\, manufacturing and Quality Assurance.  He has a passion for solving gearing related problems and continues to serve the gearing industry as part time consultant and trainer for AGMA\, in addition\, he is Chairman of the AGMA TC-60 Committee\, contributing to development of ISO gearing standards.  Terry graduated with a BS-Engineering in 1976 and a MS-Engineering from UW-Milwaukee in 1981 and enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for gears through formal consulting and training activities. \n\n\n\nPhoto Release\n\n\n\nFrom time to time MPMA uses photographs\, survey answers and testimonial of MPMA events in its promotional materials.
