Dayton Gear recently partnered with Helios Gear Products to install a new Hera 200 CNC gear hobber, followed shortly after by a Hera 500 CNC gear hobber. Helios had a chance to check in with Adam Baird and Brian Baird, third generation at Dayton Gear, to see how their production has changed since the installation, and how they're planning and looking forward to the future.
"The productivity those machines put out is insane. A part that took 30 minutes on one of our old machines, the Hera 200 is cutting in 2 minutes; it is that big of a difference," said Brian.
Dayton Gear specializes in gear cutting and gearbox repair and rebuilding services.
Brian reflected on his vision for Dayton's future: "Everybody's dream is to have their shop function as a well-oiled machine, and every single year we are making the right strides to get to that dream."
"Helios continues to support gear manufacturers like Dayton Gear with expert applications engineering support for machines, consumable tools and automation systems," said a Helios spokesperson.
