Conveyor drives, packaging-line motion, and AGV transmissions for high-mix automation builders.
Industrial automation is the broadest single category we serve — conveyor drives, packaging-line indexers, AGV transmissions, garment-machinery synchronizers. The unifying theme is that every machine model is slightly different from every other, and the volumes are too low for catalog suppliers but too high to hand-make.

What we ship
ANSI #25 – #240, induction-hardened tooth flanks
HTD / GT, custom bore + keyway for packaging-line drives
Class 6 ground racks for gantry positioning
Friction or ball-detent, set to drawing trip torque
Jaw / disc / Oldham between motor and gearbox
A typical automation OEM ships 20–200 machines per year and uses a hundred unique gear part-numbers across their product line. They cannot afford the lead time and MOQ of a big catalog supplier; they cannot afford the price of a Western job shop. We sit in the middle — quote 24 hours, deliver 30 days, on volumes from 10 to 500 pieces.
Common parts: timing belt pulleys for indexing belts, sprockets for chain conveyors, gear racks for long-stroke positioning, jaw / disc couplings between motor and gearbox, torque-limiters for jam protection.
For high-mix builders, we standardize on a "default" material and treatment per part family — so re-quotes and new variants stay simple unless the customer asks otherwise.

Case studies
3× service life · −5 dB noise
Re-cut a worn helical gear set for a corrugated-board packaging machine. Switched material from 40Cr to 20CrMnTi case-hardened, ground after heat treatment. Customer measured 3× the wear life of the original.
0 returns in 18 months
High-volume sprocket order for a sewing-machine OEM. Set up induction hardening on tooth flank only — zero returns since first delivery.
FAQ
One. For prototype and low-volume work we have no MOQ — we routinely cut single replacement parts. Our sweet-spot for unit cost is 50–200 pieces per lot.
Same day on standard ANSI / HTD parts — we have the cutter library. Custom-profile or non-standard module typically 24 hours.
Yes — that's roughly half of our torque-limiter business. We need the OEM drawing of the pulley / sprocket the limiter must fit, plus the trip torque.
