While the pressure of globalization on US manufacturers continues, one part of industry in this country is growing at the rate of 20% per year. Quickly assigned an acronym, it's called the ETO (Engineer To Order) business.
- Rewards, in the case of gearing users, can include unique designs, improved efficiencies, and compact light-weight units. However, design proposals can only offer these benefits after the basic engineering is complete and preliminary costs have been established.
- Barriers to entry in this business include the time for engineering, the process of prototyping and the added costs of short runs.
Gearing Solutions has spent years putting together a system to overcome these restrictions as they apply to our planetary gearing.

| Our DTAP (drive train automation program) can design a standard face mounted Gearhead in as little as 20 minutes. This is not just a picture. It includes specifications, a footprint and 7 pages of detail drawings. It uses over 50 engineering programs. It screens the several million possibilities for the most practical designs. |

DTAP is not enough
Even with years of testing and field experience, it is often prudent to prototype new designs. Our tool and die team is constantly improving traditional ways of building prototypes. They are using modern methods (Gibbs) and machines (Mazac-Enshu-Takasawa-Centroid). Our current costs are 1/5 of what they were three years ago. |

A Complete System
As the ETO market expands GS has learned that short run capabilities must be added to finish the process. The same team that is reducing prototype costs has developed a tooling system which allows us to set up for simple parts in as little as 5 minutes and for complete change over in 45. This makes it much easier to field new designs. |
