Precision gear manufacturing with CNC machining and advanced inspection
Delta Gear manufactures precision gears for aerospace applications using CNC-driven workflows (Solidworks, AutoCAD, Mastercam, Unigraphics). The company is actively implementing lean manufacturing and automation initiatives while wrestling with cost structure optimization and production-flow visibility—a pattern typical of mid-market manufacturers scaling beyond manual scheduling into data-driven operations.
Delta Gear manufactures high-precision gears for the aerospace and aviation sector from its Livonia, Michigan facility. The operation is built around advanced CNC machinery, gear grinding equipment, and computerized production controls. The company employs a mix of manufacturing technicians and engineers (51–200 total headcount), with current focus areas spanning lean process implementation, automation, and quality system enhancements. Revenue and margin pressure from metals market volatility and RFQ cost estimation accuracy appear to be ongoing operational constraints.
Delta Gear's engineering stack includes Solidworks, AutoCAD, Unigraphics, and Mastercam for design and CNC programming, along with Pro/ENGINEER for legacy support.
Active initiatives include implementing daily management systems (SQDIP), developing lean manufacturing strategies, driving automation, enhancing quality systems, and improving RFQ cost estimation accuracy.
