Advance Adapters Goes into the gear Cutting Business

Due to a series of unfortunate events in late 2007, we have begun a new chapter in the history of Advance Adapters. Taking a big cautious step forward we knew that to produce gears that would stand up to and exceed the reputation and quality that is expected from Advance Adapters, and the Atlas Transfer Case, we would need the right equipment and training. After all anything worth doing, is worth doing right. At this point we had already been cutting splines in house for the last 20 years; however helical cuts have always been jobbed out since our expansion 10 years ago. Undoubtedly this also caused a down time in the production of most of our Atlas line of Transfer cases. We knew this would cause delays of some already pending orders and all new orders to come. We knew it was time to take control of all manufacturing aspects of producing our transfer cases including the gears.

Fast forward to today, we are now in full swing production on our Atlas gear components. We have become a member of AGMA (American Gear Manufacturer Association), and purchased a number of gear manufacturing machines and precision test equipment. The flag ship of our gear cutting lineup is the powerful and versatile Mitsubishi ST25CNC, able to produce just about any gear to the tightest tolerances. We appreciate those who have loyally and patiently stood by our side during this time of growth and development here at Advance Adapters. It has been a long road, but very much worth it for us and our customers. mouse here for a full list of Advance Adapters gear Cutting Equipment
