The powerful LC 60 - 130 gear hobbing machines feature a very compact design. They were specially designed for the diverse requirements of the automotive industry.
Machine concept
The high-speed machine opens up extensive potential in terms of efficient gear production.
The compact concept requires 20% less floor space. The well-known and proven advantages of the attached accumulator and the integrated loader are still available.
Significantly increased axis and spindle speeds improve productivity and allow more complex machining processes such as roughing, finishing and chamfering with distinct tools in one setup.
The tool speed maximum of 7000 RPM allows theoretical cutting speeds up to 1700 m/min.
Table speeds up to 1400 RPM enable the use of fast-moving tools.
A1 - Swivel movement tool | B1 - Rotary movement tool | C2 - Rotary movement workpiece | V1 - Tangential movement tool | X1 - Radial movement column | Z1 - Axial travel tool
Quick-swiveling loader
The workpiece loading time of the quick-swiveling loader for gears up to 60 mm has been reduced to 1.4 seconds, resulting in a chip-to-chip time of less than 3 seconds.
Universal ringloader
The more flexible ringloader enables a chip-to-chip time of 4.4 seconds.
C3 - Rotary movement ringloader | Z4 - Vertical travel tailstock | Z5 - Vertical travel workpiece in gripper
Customer benefits
Efficient gear hobbing
The development of this machine was focused particularly on high availability.
Maintenance and service costs have been specifically minimized. Among other things, the introduction of a central lubrication system has reduced maintenance requirements by approx. 75%.
