CNC bevel gear cutter has small footprint
CNC bevel gear cutting machine has a design that permits the shortest possible structural overhang of both cutter and work for maximum stiffness and thermal stability.
Claimed to offer more economy and quality, the 150SPH has a directly driven honing head with speeds of up to 3,000 rev/min and a wide variety of tool systems to satisfy the various requirements of different component geometries.
Gear honing achieves low-noise surfaces or can be used for machining involving interfering contours.
The latest version of the Spheric Honing software runs on the Siemens 840D CNC.
In addition to simple, graphically-aided data input, the software also provides process data calculation.
In combination with simple-to-change fixtures and tools, the system could not be any more user-friendly, said Gleason.
The integrated loading system facilitates short loading and non-productive times, as well as a link to the user's own automation concepts.
Gleason added that this machine is based on the experience of over 150 Gleason-Hurth honing machines sold, and its technology shows the way forward for maximum productivity and quality.
Capacities are as follows.
* Nominal work piece diameter is 150mm.
* Nominal module range is 0.5-4mm.
