Grinding and hobbing done in one machine
Universal CNC gear grinding machine uses high speed, direct drive spindles for different grinding methods such as profile or generating using a worm-type wheel.
Three dressing systems are available, as follows.
* Dressing with a diamond-plated dressing wheel for maximum productivity.
* Dressing with conventional dressing wheels for high flexibility and productivity.
* Optional contour dressing for maximum profile and flank flexibility.
The machine also offers optional patented grinding process for twist-free gearing and a patented grinding process for low-noise surfaces.
A cam-driven high-speed loading system is designed to reduce loading and non-productive time to a minimum.
The Genesis 130TWG also allows the shortest possible changeover times by using quick-change fixtures and other smart detailed equipment.
* Control system - the Genesis 130TWG has the latest Siemens 840D control and user-friendly technology software including process data calculation for easy operation.
The Genesis 130TWG provides the other benefits familiar from the Genesis series , including simple maintenance and a small space requirement.
This equips the machine for all the requirements of modern production environments, said Gleason.
Capacities of the Genesis 130TWG are as follows.
* Nominal workpiece diameter is 150mm.
Nominal module range is 1 - 3mm.
Maximum shaft length is 350mm.
** Versatile 360T Universal Gear Tester: for 90 deg, angular bevel and cylindrical gears - CNC roll testing of just about any gear set type is now possible with the Gleason 360T Universal Gear Tester (patents pending).
It is available in either fixed 90 deg or full angular configurations.
Its ability to quickly perform advanced quality measurements on bevel, angular bevel, and parallel-axis gears makes it ideal for everything from high-production automotive and jobbing to laboratory environments, said Gleason.
It has the following main features.
* Fully automatic SFT and SBN checking of all gear set types.
