03 / CONTROLLED WORKFLOW

From Drawing Review to Delivered Evidence

Keep engineering assumptions, revision and acceptance criteria connected throughout the order.

01PROGRAM STAGE

Engineering Review

Confirm geometry, material, quantity, CTQ features and open questions.

02PROGRAM STAGE

Route & Workholding

Choose operations, tools, datums, fixture strategy and inspection points.

03PROGRAM STAGE

Machining & Control

Run the approved sequence with in-process checks where risk requires them.

04PROGRAM STAGE

Final Verification

Inspect the delivered condition and supply agreed records.

04 / TECHNICAL RANGE

Capability and Specification Reference

These values define the review inputs. The approved quotation and drawing control final capability.

05 / QUALITY CONTROL

Build Inspection Into the Manufacturing Route

A result is useful only when the functional requirement and the evidence used to accept it are aligned.

A result is useful only when the functional requirement and the evidence used to accept it are aligned.

  • Blank datumsControl bore, faces and journals before tooth generation.
  • Thermal planningPreserve allowance for distortion and final finishing after hardening.
  • Tooth evidenceSelect measurements that match the stated gear standard and grade.
  • Assembly relationshipVerify runout and tooth geometry from functional rotating datums.

06 / DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING

Design Decisions That Improve Process Stability

Resolve access, datum and inspection questions before manufacturing release.

01

Name the standard

State module or DP, pressure angle, grade and governing specification.

02

Provide tool clearance

Review shoulders, hubs and root access before selecting a cutting route.

03

Plan hardness early

Heat treatment changes stock allowance, sequence and inspection.

04

Share mating context

Center distance, load, backlash and contact requirements guide decisions.

07 / PART APPLICATIONS

08 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Custom CNC Gear Manufacturing questions, answered.

What gear types can Mockup manufacture?+

Projects can include spur, helical, bevel-related, worm and other drawing-defined geared components after route review.

Do you support small-batch gears?+

Yes. Flexible CNC routes are considered when dedicated high-volume tooling is not economical.

Can heat treatment be included?+

Yes. Allowance, distortion control, hardness verification and final finishing are planned as one route.

What is needed for a quote?+

Provide tooth count, module or DP, pressure angle, helix data, quality grade, material, hardness, datums, quantity and inspection scope.
