Gearbox Calculation Package GPK The Standard for Industry Gearboxes.
Cost-effective Manufacturing
Are you interested in your manufacturing costs? Even during the design phase? In GPK costs of
the gearbox (without housing) are estimated simultaneously with the calculation. In GPK, you
can also introduce your production data order to improve the accuracy of the estimated costs.
Verify a whole Gearbox within Minutes
Did you ever need to recalculate an existing gearbox for different loads or gearing data? How
long did it take you? In GPK, with the existing gearbox examples, the recalculation with changed
parameters will take a few minutes only: start KISSsys, load the gearbox file, change
gearing/load data, start calculation, print documentation!
React quickly and accurately to Inquiries for Quotation
When you design a gearbox, what interests your customer most? Size, weight, cost, delivery
date! And that is what the customer does want to know as fast as possible. In day-to-day
business, your customers expect you to be able to supply them quickly with information on
approximate size and weight of a gearbox. GPK lets you swiftly calculate a complete gearbox
(without housing) with simultaneous estimation of weights and main dimensions.
Automatic Calculation Documentation
Do you enjoy writing calculation reports? KISSsys frees you from this boring chore; you may
choose between a summary (e. g. for your customers, or as a cover page for the project file) and
a complete report. The latter, documents in extenso all the calculations, making sure that you can
document your work quickly, accurately and in a comprehensive way.
Captivating Graphics and a clear Presentation of the Results
Do your customers want colourful pictures and impressive graphics? What about the rest of your
colleagues? Specially those from Marketing? With GPK you can present your calculations in an
impressive way; all those involved can have an image of the product already during the design
phase. Thus, your work will be graspable also for non professionals and it will gain in credibility.
Siplified Data Administration
Did it happen to you not to find a calculation file immediately? Till now, for a four stage
gearbox, you had to work out separate calculations for six shafts and bearings, as well as four
gearing calculations; in GPK instead, you work with a single file. This is much more transparent
and you do not need anymore to think about which file belongs to which construction
development stage.
Work as you usually do with KISSsoft
Would you like to go on using the already existing KISSsoft data? GPK, falls back upon
KISSsoft for the calculations and input data. With this, it is guaranteed that you will rapidly find your way in GPK. Already existing files can be directly imported, e. g. it is possible in GPK to build complete gearboxes from individual components. You may also save GPK data as
KISSsoft files.
Direct Data Export into your CAD System
After designed out or verified a gearbox, export the 3D data as a step file and read it in your
CAD System for packaging studies, collision checks or for visualisation.
Configurations
Spur-gear Gearboxes:
– One to five Stages
(Two Bearings per Shaft, each)
Bevel-spur-gear Gearboxes:
– One Bevel-gear Stage
– One bevel plus one to three helical stages
(Two Bearings per Shaft, each)
Does your configuration differ from the standards above? No problem, we can specially adapt
the GPK model for you.
Prerequisites
GPK uses KISSsoft for the calculation of gears, bearings and shafts. In order to use GPK, you
need a KISSsoft licence for the correspondent module. Please do contact KISSsoft AG for
advice.
