Project GEMSTONE takes a holistic view of the gear manufacturing supply chain. Analysing and optimising each stage of the process from design through to finished component using AMRC's process monitoring solutions, GEMSTONE will reduce investment costs, energy usage and waste while delivering breakthrough levels of transmission component performance. Mazak's innovative thinking in machine tool, tooling and work holding aims to deliver a finished component from a blank in a single step while AFRC developed breakthrough blank geometries and forging technology will minimise waste and cut machining times significantly. Renishaw will deliver in-tool measurement and system condition health checking solutions to ensure accurate and repeatable parts from a machine that can run 24:7 with maximised efficiency. The flexibility of the manufacturing process will enable JLR to develop next generation lightweight and high performance asymmetric gear tooth profiles. Hosted at the leading edge manufacturing facilities of The Proving Factory, the solutions will utilise the latest Tata Steel materials to lay the foundation of a world class transmission production solution in the UK.
