KISSsoft is a software package to perform sizing calculations for machine elements. The gears are the central element in the transmission. In addition, shafts, bearings, connecting elements, springs, as well as chains/belts can also be calculated. KISSsoft is rounded out by supplementary modules performing such tasks as tolerance calculations and conversions between different hardness systems. Gears Sizing calculations are available for all common gear types (cylindrical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, helical gears, hypoid gears, and crown gears). For cylindrical gears, the software also works with planetary sets and gear racks. In addition to a feature for reviewing calculations with respect to standards (ISO, DIN, AGMA, VDI, Klingenberg), the program also offers a number of different design and optimization functions....

Creo Elements/Pro (formerly Pro/ENGINEER), PTC\’s parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution, is used by discrete manufacturers for mechanical engineering, design and manufacturing. Created by Dr. Samuel P. Geisberg in the mid-1980s, Pro/ENGINEER was the industry\’s first successful rule-based constraint (sometimes called \”parametric\” or \”variational\”) 3D CAD modeling system.[6] The parametric modeling approach uses parameters, dimensions, features, and relationships to capture intended product behavior and create a recipe which enables design automation and the optimization of design and product development processes. This design approach is used by companies whose product strategy is family-based or platform-driven, where a prescriptive design strategy is fundamental to the success of the design process by embedding engineering constraints and relationships to quickly optimize the design, or where...

ESPRIT 2013, the latest version of the innovative computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) software developed by DP Technology Corp., designed to program multi-spindle, multi-turret mill-turn and Swiss-turn machine tools. This latest version focuses on providing new and enhanced machining technology that ensures more efficient toolpaths and new strategies for greater overall productivity, the company says. New to ESPRIT 2013, the patent-pending ProfitMilling strategy for 2-, 3- and 5-axis roughing cycles allows customers to remove more material in a shorter period of time. The ProfitMilling strategy optimizes engagement angle, chip load, material removal rate (MRR), lateral cutter force and machine acceleration to achieve optimal results. It utilizes trochoidal tool motion and a traditional offset of the toolpath, allowing usage of the full tool flute...
