Abstract

A processing system for increasing the quality of a gear having a shot peening apparatus for subjecting, to shot peening, a gear after tooth-forming and surface hardening; a barreling apparatus positioned adjacently to the shot peening apparatus, for subjecting, to barreling, the gear which has been subject to shot peening by the shot peening apparatus; and a gear feeding apparatus positioned adjacently to the shot peening apparatus and the barreling apparatus, for feeding, to the barreling apparatus, the gear which has been subjected to the shot peening by the shot peening apparatus. Thus, a gear of high quality can be efficiently produced, and the working environment can be cleaned at low cost by a dust collecting apparatus.
