Dontyne Gears was formed in 2013 to address the growing requirement in the industry to accelerate drivetrain development processes. It is the latest venture from Dr. Michael Fish, one of the team behind Dontyne Systems Ltd, a prominent company in the field of Gear Design, Measurement and Tooling software. Due to production commitments it is not always possible, easy, or cost effective for manufacturers to investigate new technology and realize the benefits it offers. Dontyne Gears aims to provide this facility at Technical Readiness Levels 1-3 to establish feasibility. We can offer creation of new designs, improvement of existing designs and R&D of novel designs at the front end as well as prototype manufacture, component inspection and even testing on the back end. In addition to the design work it is possible to consider tool design, machining times and costs, as well as propose alternative materials such as powder metal and plastic where possible.
Bringing these aspects under one roof it is possible to make great strides in production efficiency and performance in a shortened time. Our team has also developed sales relationships with several prominent providers of gear manufacturing, test and inspection equipment. This enables us to provide product application solution hardware sales and ease of integration to Dontyne Systems software to our customer’s production facilities. Once established as feasible, it is possible to scale up the R&D process though institutions such as AMRC or AFRC and ultimately into the clients own product testing process.
