Abstract
The expert system STATEXS is presented for dimensioning, optimization and manufacture of gears and gearings. The optimum dimensions of the gearing were determined using genetic algorithms, well suited to such problems especially because of their robustness and their ability to detect global extremes. After completion of the calculations and optimization of the gears or gear pairs, there follows one of the most difficult operations, the manufacture of the product with theoretically determined and optimized properties. To this end we have also started to use the genetic algorithm approach for the manufacture of various products with demanding shapes.
