KX DYNAMIC series Gear centres Pick-up concept and integrated automation enable fastest changing times Automatic change of clamping devices Multifunction-axis to discharge measured and tested parts Intended to be used within the automotive industry, the DYNAMIC series convinces with minimal set-up and non-operational times. The concept is based on the integrated loading function and the optionally available automatic changeover of the workpiece fixtures. Parallel to grinding operation, the second pick-up axis can unload the finished workpiece and pick up an unmachined part. The workpiece is aligned...

KX TWIN series Gear centres Twin spindle concept with rotary indexing table Flexible connection to different concepts of automation Minimal nonproductive times Machines of the KX TWIN series have been designed for continuous generating grinding with dressable and non-dressable tools. They are particularly suitable for the high production volumes in the medium and large batch production of gears and shafts. The concept includes two identical workpiece spindles arranged at opposing sides of an rotary indexing table. While machining one part, the second workpiece spindle simultaneously loads / unloads...

Direct drives in tool spindle and workpiece spindle Highest flexibility due to various machining processes Flexible connection to different automatic loading solutions Based on different tool and process technologies, userspecific, optimal production solutions can be configured. The tool spindle with counterbearing can hold dressable and non-dressable grinding worms or profile grinding wheels. Due to the use of auxiliary spindles small grinding wheels up to a minimum diameter of 25 mm can be used. Machines can be loaded either manually or automatically. The use of an integrated ring loader allows...
