Tandler Precision Limited - Applications using Tandler Spiral Bevel and Speed Modulation Gearboxes

Tandler puts you in the money

Just imagine - You check your lottery ticket and realise that you have matched all the numbers. Show me the money!! You take the ticket into the store you bought it to confirm the win. It goes into the machine and can't be read - form classified invalid. Goodbye money. Lottery tickets must be produced with absolute precision so that they can be read without the possibility of error. The precision of Tandler Speed Modulation gearboxes in the printing process contributes to the certainty that six correct numbers will indeed put you in the money.

Squeezed in the middle with Tandler		Cherry Chocolates with Tandler
	Getting the filling squeezed between two biscuits is not as easy as you might think. The consistency of the filling is constantly changing with temperature, humidity, and other ingredient factors in the manufacturing process. To ensure that the same amount of filling is placed between the biscuits regardless of line speed or any other factor, Tandler Speed Modulation gearboxes are used.	What do cherry filled chocolates have to do with Tandler gearboxes you ask? Do you ever wonder how those cherries get into those chocolates. Well, it's a complex process requiring precise registration and positioning of the cherries as the chocolate cups move down the high speed conveyor belt. As the chocolate changes consistancy with temperature and humidity, the Tandler Speed Modulation gearboxes are used for positioning and belt speed matching so that the cherry goes exactly where it belongs - in the chocolate and not on the conveyor

Tandler's High Ratio		Diapers and Hygeine Products
Wind power is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative energy source. To maximise the efficiency of energy production, the pitch of the rotor blades are adjusted for any given wind condition. This is to ensure that in low wind and high wind conditions the generator is spinning to produce the greatest amount of electricity. Because of the enormous propeller torque, a highly specialised Tandler Spiral Bevel gearbox with a very high ratio is used in this application.		Diapers, which most people take for granted, have evolved dramatically over the years. Cotton cloth secured with safety pins has been replaced with a 10 component diaper with a breathable leak proof plastic outer layer, Velcro closures, a soft inner layer for comfort, and an absorbant section capable of absorbing a small lake all in a disposable unit for less cost than a cloth diaper. During the high speed manufacturing process each of the 10 components must be trimmed, positioned and assembled with extreme consistancy and accuracy. Tandler gearboxes, known for their durability and precision, are used in diaper machines around the world to keep babies dry and comfortable.

Tandler Keeps Your Images Clear

Do you ever wonder how a high speed 4 colour printing press keeps the images you see in magazines so crisp and clear? The answer is Tandler Speed Modulation gearboxes used in the press registration system. Virtually all web type printing presses are driven with a main line shaft, many use a Tandler Speed Modulating gearbox at each print station. This allows the operator to alter the position of the print forwards or backwards relative to the previous print cylinder to make sure each successive colour is printed precisely on top of one another to create photo quality images at high speed.

Tandler Strikes Oil in Alaska		Tandler's Explosive Connection
Different Oil extraction techniques are used depending on the environment where the oil is found. In Alaska Tandler gearboxes are use in the pumping of crude oil. A special internal lubrication is used to ensure continious reliable operation under the most extreme temperature and weather conditions.		Using explosives is always very dangerous, especially in demolition. When a timed detonation is called for, special fuses are used. The consistancy of the rate of burn in the fuses is critical. This consistancy is guaranteed by a precise system of wrapping and metering explosive compound into two cords to form a fuse. Two Tandler splined gearboxes connected with a torque tube are used to wrap the cords with unwavering consistency. The result is spectacular and controlled explosions.

Tandler on the Seven Seas		Tandler is Everywhere
	Virtually all freight transported on the open seas is done so using "containers". Container ships are found in every major port around the world. They are loaded and unloaded using special bridge cranes. Tandler gearboxes feed and take up cable as the crane car travels back and forth over the ship and dock, loading and unloading freight.	Even in space you will find a Tandler gearbox. They are used to control the solar panels of satallites. When a rocket is launced every ounce of weight saved reduces launch costs. For this application Tandler uses a special light weight aluminum housing and a high tech graphite lubricant because of zero gravity and the extreme temperature variations. Normal seals also cannot withstand the rigors of space and are replaced with a uniquely designed 'labyrinth' seal to contain the graphite.
