DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION

We exercise a creative approach towards identifying the best solutions and addressing specic technical needs of our clients. Our goal is constant development of products with a higher level of functional and quality parameters. We propose optimal solutions on the basis of existing expertise in every scope of application. Everything starts with a concept, an idea. This idea then takes a shape and is outlined in the form of a draft. Later, during discussion, we search for understanding of correlations within the whole application. Thanks to our state-of-the-art computing and drawing programmes, we are able to give this idea its precise size and shape. Our international team of design engineers cooperate with Universities and top experts from all over the world. Innovation in the eld of design solutions has led to better reliability and also accuracy in the functional and economical parameters of our products.

PRODUCTS
We offer helical, bevel-helical, high-speed, epicyclic and special gearboxes in a wide range of sizes, transmitted powers, gear ratios and output shaft types. According to client request and operating conditions, we are able to provide gearboxes with the most appropriate lubricating and cooling aggregate.

STANDARD HELICAL and BEVEL-HELICAL GEARBOXES are the most all-purpose solutions in industrial mixers, cranes, wire-drawing machines, belt conveyors, cooling towers, with minimal modication in calenders, extruders, mixers, rolling mills, etc. 1, 2, 3 or 4-stage conguration reaches a gear ratio of iN = 1 560 and a maximum torque output M2 860 kNm. SPECIAL GEARBOXES FOR RAIL VEHICLES in various modications, e.g. one stage bevel hypoid axle drive, bevel-helical axle drive, helical drive with hollow shaft setting, bevel nal drive for 100% low oor trams, etc.

TECHNOLOGY
Signicant investments in machine and technology equipment give us the unique edge in our eld. We have at our disposal state-of-the-art CNC technology, from lathes, vertical lathes, machining centres, horizontal and vertical boring machines, hobbers, to prole grinding machines. We produce ground wheels up to 3500 mm in diameter. Prole grinding machines allow grinding with high accuracy of up to 2600 mm in diameter of gear wheel. We are able to grind internal gearing up to 2400 mm in external diameter of gear rim. We keep complete technology of bevel spiral gearing production up to 1050 mm in diameter. The processes of heat and chemical-heat treatment provided by Wikov represent annealing, gas carburising, nitriding in ammonia atmosphere, oil and water quenching, press quenching and tempering treatment.

CERTIFICATION
Our products are veried by the use of the latest inspection procedures and computer controlled measuring technology. The MERLIN 1100 and WENZEL LHF 3020-40 measure the box components. The gear teeth we check by the use of the Klingelnberg P100, P300 machine. Magnetic and capillary testing is used for component inspection for crack occurrence. The heat treatment results are tested in the mechanical laboratory by use of the Leco instrument. Ground surfaces after heat treatment process are checked for grinding burns by Rollscan 300 device. The noise and vibrations of the boxes of the gears are measured through the use of equipment from the Bruel+Kjaer and Adash rms. Our metrology laboratory is equipped with a ZEISS microscope with digital picture processing. In our test room we test gearboxes without or with load. Gear units designed for cold climate conditions we control in our cooling chamber. Wikov is certied according to ISO 9001:2008 by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance and Bureau Veritas Quality International for: design, development, manufacturing, sales and service of gears, gear boxes and engineering product for wind energy. In addition inspection for acceptance of our gear boxes can also be by undertaken other third parties such as DNV, LRS, GL, ABS and KR.
