Kinematics and setup of Oerlikon C 29 and C 30 gear cutting centers

Oerlikon C 29 and C 30 bevel gear cutting machines employ a vertical workpiece spindle layout for continuous dry milling of spiral bevel gear sets. Machine commissioning requires exact angular positioning of the cutter head and synchronization of generating movements.

The computer numerical control coordinates tool rotation and table motion electronically without mechanical index gears. Maintaining high cutting precision requires periodic checks of spindle bearing preloads and encoder calibration.

Intensive operation demands regular inspection of hydraulic clamping circuits and air filter elements in electrical cabinets.

Closed Loop metrology integration for bevel gear grinding processes

The Closed Loop technology links Oerlikon G 30 and G 60 grinding machines with precision Klingelnberg P-series measuring centers in a continuous manufacturing cycle.

After finish grinding, a sample workpiece is transferred to the metrology center where a 3D probe acquires complete tooth flank topographies. Dedicated KIMoS calculation software evaluates measured coordinates against theoretical gear models and determines numerical axis corrections.

Data feeds back to the machine tool over local networks, enabling the control system to adjust dressing paths and grinding positions automatically.

Profile and generating grinding methods on Höfler Speed Viper units

Höfler Speed Viper grinding machines accommodate both continuous generating grinding with threaded wheels and flexible profile grinding with form wheels for cylindrical gears. Mode selection depends on batch sizes, tooth module, and flank modification criteria.

The dual-spindle turret concept minimizes idle non-productive intervals by allowing workpiece loading and clamping while gear grinding proceeds on the active spindle. Automatic wheel balancing and optimized dressing parameters ensure superior surface roughness.

Clean cutting oil and high-efficiency sludge filtration extend guideway longevity.

Hydrostatic bearings and maintenance for Höfler Rapid rotary tables

Heavy-duty Höfler Rapid cylindrical gear grinders feature closed hydrostatic radial and thrust bearings supporting the rotary work table. High-pressure oil films isolate metal friction surfaces completely, preventing mechanical wear and providing smooth rotation under heavy workpiece loads.

Hydrostatic system operation requires stable oil temperatures and fine filtration down to three microns. Regular maintenance schedules include monitoring pressure drops across flow restrictors, inspecting fluid seals, and verifying accumulator readiness for uninterrupted emergency shutdown.

Gearing metrology analysis using Klingelnberg P-series centers

Precision Klingelnberg P 16, P 26, and P 40 inspection machines provide thorough quality evaluation for gear teeth, worms, cutting tools, and rotational parts. The measuring architecture incorporates a high-accuracy 3D scanning head with inductive transducers along three coordinate axes.

The machine records profile deviations, lead angles, cumulative pitch errors, and radial runout in one clamping setup. Center calibration utilizes reference spheres and optical polygons.

Reliable metrology outcomes rely on strict environmental temperature control and periodic inspection of ruby stylus tips.

ARCON and SPIRON tooling systems: cutter head assembly and setup

Productive bevel gear cutting utilizes Klingelnberg ARCON and SPIRON cutter heads with mechanical blade clamping. The cutter body provides rigid radial and axial positioning for carbide blades treated with wear-resistant coatings.

Before mounting in machine spindles, each cutter head undergoes precision assembly and pre-setting on optical alignment fixtures. Radial and axial blade runout tolerances are maintained within minor micron thresholds to distribute cutting forces equally.

Timely blade regrinding and clamp wedge replacement maintain tooth profile fidelity.
