GPS Release 3.0
Release 3.0 contains a new module for the conception of planetary gear drives. This tool allows the concept design of a gearbox including components such as clutches, connections and multiple power inputs and outputs. The resulting power flows can be tested for various load levels. It also contains a new module for the design and rating of planetary gear systems. This tool can also calculate for multiple load cases.
Gaudlitz Exclusivity
The implementation of the Optimal module for the optimization of tool forms has been so successful Dontyne has entered into an exclusivity deal in the plastics field with their development partner Gaudlitz GmbH, Coburg, Germany, for the further use until 2010. Read the rest of this story »
GPS Release 2.0
The new release contains new products Optimal for the optimisation of gear tooling used in formed gear production, and GATES for the calculation and analysis of stress and transmission error in loaded gear sets.
ASME, Las Vegas
Dontyne attends American Society of Mechanical Engineers Conference in Las Vegas as our reputation spreads across the Atlantic.
GPS Release 1.0
Dontyne releases a gear sizing and optimising design tool for spur and helical gears.
DUGATES development transferred from Design Unit to Dontyne
The Design Unit and Dontyne are collaborating on the continued development of the DUGATES program. This FE program has been extensively validated and used by Design Unit to optimise contact conditions, minimise Transmission Error (and hence noise) and establish robust and error tolerant designs in many applications in the last 15 years. Dontyne will continue to improve operational aspects of this program including data entry and additional graphics, new evaluations, introduce links to metrology equipment, and improving computation time. There are also plans to add to the scope of the analysis and introduce other gear forms. The resulting FE analysis option will, from this point, be a Dontyne Systems product called GATES and form the ‘Advanced’ level of the load analysis model as part of the Gear Production Suite.
