Surface and profile grinders ensure
precision
Seven surface and profile grinding machines perform complex sequences of movements, which can only be executed using kinetic components that guarantee the highest precision.
Seven surface and profile grinding machines from Maegerle are ensuring high-precision grinding at the Spanish company Tedisa Tecnicas de Division - Tedisa for short - manufactures and upplies a full range of Hirth crown gears in diameters from 50 to 1200mm

Grinding replaces broaching and milling
A cost-effective alternative - that replaces the broaching and milling with grinding - has been developed for the process used to manufacture a variety of steering gear racks.
Good reasons to opt for Maegerle machines.
Today Tedisa's 2500m2 production workshop in Berriz, Spain, contains seven Maegerle surface and profile grinding machines: six MFP-125.50.65 and one MGC-260 Special.
Inaki Muguerza, owner and managing director of the company, acquired his first Maegerle machine in 1996 and his most recent one in 2004.
"Special customer requirements call for special solutions." he says.
"These solutions consist of complex sequences of movements for our machines and they can only be executed using kinetic components that guarantee the highest precision.
The Maegerle grinding machines are our key to profitable manufacturing yet high precision at the same time." * Precision and product quality - grinding is the ideal process for manufacturing of Hirth crown gears.
In mass production today there is no other more economical alternative that guarantees such high precision and product quality.
As early as 1980, Muguerza opted for the technique of creep feed grinding, which was brand new at the time.
This allowed him to achieve a considerable reduction in production cycle times compared with travel reciprocating grinding, which was the standard method used at the time.
The natural consequence of this development was the purchase of Maegerle surface and profile grinding machines.
In addition, the machines had the following extra advantages in terms of production technology: * Excellent reproducibility while maintaining equally high precision.
* No re-working needed because of the outstanding surface finish of the workpieces.
* A high degree of automation that allows three-shift operation.
* User-friendly software shortens the planning and set-up stages.
Converting the company's production and using Maegerle machines has paid off for Tedisa.
The company's customer base includes wellknown international companies that place their confidence in the Muguerza family's many years of practical experience.
