Gear Shapers
Gear shapers are an invaluable machine tool for expertly shaping metal. Through a series of four processes, including a linear downward and upward motion of a cutter spindle, the shaper accurately cuts teeth for gears and is an excellent tool when broaching and hobbing options will not work for the needed application.

Gear shaping is an excellent tool when broaching and hobbing options will not work for the needed application.
Integrated Components is able to shape splines up to 4 inches in thickness and 10 inches in diameter.
At Integrated Components, we use this machine to manufacture internal and external splines, though it is mostly used for external splines and serrations.
NEW GEAR SHAPING PARTS TECHNOLOGY
In 2021, Integrated Components increased our capabilities of precision aircraft parts manufacturing with the purchase of two new machines. One of the machines is the Mitsubishi Gear Shaping GE25A.
Gear Shaping Stable & High-Productivity Machining
With this new gear shaping machine, produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., a gear shaper works to cut internal and stepped gears.
This new technology has improved the possibilities in the gear shaping industry. It improves the gear shaping environment and reduces the cost.
First in the Region with New Gear Shaping Capabilities
Integrated Component’s investment in new equipment is unlike any other in the Midwest. With the purchase of this gear shaper as well as a new gear hobbing machine, we are the only company with new gear cutting machines in the region for over three decades!
Integrated Components has expanded our capabilities with these new machines to now include helical, crown, and other specialty gears.
