We are pleased to announce a sales partnership with MESYS AG of Switzerland to offer bearings and shaft design to compliment our gear tools. This company has a wealth of experience in software for machine elements and already has a solid customer base in Germany and Switzerland for these new products.
Download the demo software for bearings (32 bit or 64 bit) and shaft (32 bit or 64 bit) to try it out and appropriate documents. You can contact us to obtain a licence (please return your computer ID details obtained under ‘About’ in the MESYS software) and in relation to quotations. The associate documentation is also available for both the bearing and shaft tools.

We are looking forward to meeting many new customers at the IPTEX 12 show in Mumbai, India, February 9-11 2012. This will be a good chance to build on the excellent show held by AGMA in Cincinnati where the overwhelming interest in our software was pleasing. The discussions were interesting and the contacts told us repeatedly how they were impressed that the software was simple to use and and affordable. It was especially effective in the area of manufacturing by helping to quickly analyse the effect of manufacturing on rating and operating characteristics. This would be equally applicable to gear production in India and so would like to invite interested parties to discuss your requirement at Booth A25. If you would like to discuss any issues in advance of the show please contact us using india@dontynesystems.com.

Dontyne is pleased to announce that we have started several projects in collaboration with Dave Barnett. Dave has worked with several distinguished companies such as Westland, Eaton, and Renold Gears on a wide range of projects for spur & helical, bevel, and worm gears. The projects have often involved considering both design and manufacture for optimised production and performance which fits perfectly with the Dontyne philosophy. His experience will be invaluable to the further development of our product line. Read the rest of this story »

We are looking forward to meeting many existing and future customers at the AGMA FTM in Milwaukee, USA. We were in attendance last year where we co-wrote a paper presented by Rob Frazer of the Design Unit, Newcastle. The paper was well received and has now been printed in Gear Technology magazine as part of the August 2010 edition. We were impressed by the range of participants in the last event from companies around the world and urged to contribute directly ourselves. We have had a paper approved as part of the proceedings.
