I was thinking that might be the easiest approach for low volume. How many of these do you need to make? And what is the budget? As far as I know the only way to make internal gears is by "shaving" http://youtu.be/_j6KQ96YZM0 It is certainly a process which lends itself to CNC control, and I can imagine that a slotter head on a milling machine would work well for operating the ram. (I don't think you would really want to produce that motion with a ballscrew) However, the cutters are probably not off-the-shelf items, so for any moderate quantity it probably makes more sense to buy-in the internal gears. -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
