Gear Manufacturing Data Directly on Drawing

Clear production drawings are not a luxury. They are essential.

The new generation of the TBK integration in SOLIDWORKS now offers extended configuration options for manufacturing data tables in gear drawings.

These tables can be created for: 

  • Spur and helical gears
  • Gear racks
  • Involute spline connections
  • Straight and helical bevel gears
  • Spiral bevel gears
  • Hirth couplings

They typically include basic geometry data and inspection values.

Flexible Table Configuration

When placing a manufacturing data table on the drawing, one or more predefined templates are available by default.

You can:

  • Select from multiple standard templates
  • Add your own custom templates
  • Easily modify existing templates

This allows company-specific standards to be implemented directly in the CAD workflow without manual editing after placement. From calculation to 3D model to documented production drawing - all within one consistent process.

  • Less manual effort.
  • More standardization.
  • Greater reliability in manufacturing documentation.
