The L 60 is a CNC lapping machine designed for spiral- and hypoid bevel gears. The machine has three linear axes used to adjust the gear set assembly dimensions and the axis offset. As an option, the machine can be equipped with an adjusting shaft used to adjust the shaft angle, so that also bevel gear sets with a shaft angle which deviates by 90° can be lapped. The L 60 is equipped with a FANUC FS160i-MA CNC-control, which has proven itself in the global automotive industry. A high degree of operating convenience and reliability in connection with easy maintainance are features of this control. The L 60's main range of application is the automotive industry. On a worldwide average, more than 80% of all manufactured spiral bevel gear and hypoid gear trains are lapped. So lapping still has its place in the bevel wheel gear manufacturing despite the "dirty" process and the high degree of professional knowledge required of the lapping machine set-up man. The L 60 supports the work of the set-up man and the normal operator with several standard and optional miscellaneous functions. The L 60's compact design takes the rising costs of production space into account. The working area, which opens wide to the front enables easy access for retooling and manual loading. The latter is additionally facilitated by the optional foot switch for clamping and releasing the work pieces. On request, the machine can be equipped with an automatic loading system. An automatic ratio detection ensures that the correct lapping program is always started, even during random delivery of different gear set ratios.
