Vertical honing machine 260HMS

single-spindleCNC

Overview
The 260HMS is a single-spindle gear honing machine featuring an integrated B-axis, an integrated tailstock and a generous workspace. It is designed to cover a wide range of gear honing tasks—from shafts and large/heavy workpieces to small, complex components.

Key Benefits

• Single-spindle design for versatile honing operations
• Integrated B-axis for in-process gear flank modification and center‑offset compensation
• Integrated tailstock to support long or heavy workpieces
• Generous workspace accommodating shafts, larger parts and small complex components
• Combi Honing capability to finish two gears on one workpiece in a single setup
• Support for two-ring combi honing: dedicated roughing and finishing rings for high surface quality
• Fast, compact automation concepts for quick loading in a small footprint

Applications

• Gear honing for shafts, pinions, internal and external gears, and splines
• Finishing of e‑Drive stepped pinions with tight timing tolerances (Combi Honing)
• Small, complex gear components as well as larger and heavy workpieces

Combi Honing / Surface Quality
Combi Honing enables finishing of two gears on a single workpiece in one setup. The integrated B‑axis compensates the center offset between honing rings and allows phase alignment. Using two different honing rings (roughing + finishing) in one setup yields excellent surface quality and process efficiency.

Automation
Automation concepts are engineered for fast loading into a compact work area. Solutions support fully automated cells as well as manual or semi-automatic loading depending on customer requirements.
