The KNG 350 flex HS is based on a compact, set-up-optimised machine concept and is intended for use in small, medium and large series production of externally toothed components up to 350 mm diameter. The machine is characterised in particular by the highest grinding quality and productivity, even when machining with small tools. Using a high-speed grinding spindle (HS) with a speed of 25,000 rpm, even gear teeth with interfering contours can be ground, requiring tool diameters of min. 55 mm (ge...

The KNG 350 flex is based on a compact, set-up-optimised machine concept for use in the prototype sector up to large series production. Both externally and internally toothed workpieces can be machined. The performance-optimised grinding spindle with counter bearing is designed also for the use of large grind-ing worms with widths of up to 200 mm. This allows an efficient realisation, especially when machining of components with large modules and using 2-sector worms for fine grinding or polishi...

The machines of the RX series are used for pre-finish and finish grinding of pre-profiled steel and cast iron screw rotors.

Due to the innovative drive concept on the tool side, a maximum drive power of 46 kW is reached. Especially for roughing, this high performance results in extremely high stock removal rates and shortens machining times considerably. In combination with an optimally adapted tool technology, a highly productive and efficient working process will be guaranteed.

The patented KX 500 FLEX is designed for the flexible use of a wide range of tooling and machining technologies. Thus, application-specific production solutions can be configured to perform diverse processing jobs and a wide range of batch sizes efficiently and economically. Dressable tools for versatile machining processes and non-dressable CBN tools can be used for highly productive manufacturing as well as grinding of gear geometry with interfering edges. The machine concept is based on a rot...

Based on different tool and process technologies, user-specific, 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 short loading times for both bore and shaft parts.
