KNG 350 flex HS

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 (generating grinding) or 20 mm (profile grinding). The concept also offers full flexibility in the selection of loading and automation solutions. From manual loading to downsize automation to robotic loading. The optionally integrated ring loader ensures the shortest non-productive times and can handle both bore parts and shaft-shaped workpieces. The new functional and ergonomic machine design paired with the innovative user-friendly interface KN grind supports the user during set-up and optimisation of grinding projects.

KNG 350 flex
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 polishing applications. From manual loading to a comprehensive automation solution, the concept offers full flexibility. The functional and ergonomic machine design paired with the innovative user-friendly interface KN grind supports the user during set-up and optimisation of grinding projects. Due to the use of auxiliary spindles small grinding wheels can be applied. Both involute internal gears and special profiles can be machined with the internal grinding device.

KX 300 P
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.

KX 500 FLEX
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 rotary indexing table which incorporates the tailstock and dresser offset against the workpiece spindle. The dressing unit can accommodate a single or twin spindle dresser. Due to the use of auxiliary spindles small grinding wheels can be applied. Both involute internal gears and special profiles can be machined with the internal grinding device.

RX 120
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. With regard to pre-grinding, the patented rotor grinding machine RX 120 provides the option to use the advantages of continuous generating grinding instead of profile grinding in manufacturing rotor profiles. For the finishing operation, only profile grinding is used. By applying the generating grinding process as the pre-grinding process, a reduction of up to 40 % in grinding time can be realised compared to conventional machines and processes.

KX DYNAMIC series
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 outside the working area. To reduce non-productive times, the workpiece spindle can be swivelled into the working area in an already accelerated state. Continuous generating grinding with dressable grinding tools is used as machining process. For application-specific purposes, dressing tools with integrated tip dresser as well as multi-ribbed tools can be used on the dressing unit. The integrated automation reduces the space requirement to a minimum. Topological generating grinding is available as an option.

KX TWIN series
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 and aligns another part. The machines are optimised for automatic loading with a standardised, cost-effective combination of pallet conveyor and gantry loader. The profile grinding function is optionally available for the KX 260 TWIN. By using an optional high-speed grinding spindle (HS), it is even possible to grind gears with interfering edges which require a tool diameter of 55 mm (generating grinding) or 20 mm (profile grinding).

ZP special machines
Based on the well-known ZP series, application-specific solutions have been developed. The machines of the ZP B model have been designed for complete hard finishing (gearing and reference surfaces) of external planetary and bull gears with a tip diameter of up to 3,000 mm. The combination of machining processes ensures a high potential for optimising workpiece quality while at the same time reducing set-up and machining times. The machines of the ZPI model are developed for profile grinding of highly precise internal gears with large modules. Especially the series production in the wind energy sector requires higher stiffness and stronger grinding power. A heavy internal grinding device was developed especially for this purpose, with the greatest emphasis on the rigidity of the grinding spindle bearing. The measuring device is permanently integrated in the grinding head which leads to a reduction of set-up times to a minimum. The machines of the ZP I/E model are used for high precision profile grinding of internal gears with large modules with a root diameter of up to 2,900 mm. The grinding arm is designed to allow it to rotate by 180°, thus the machine can be refitted for grinding external gears and special profiles within 30 minutes. The basic machines are equipped with a dresser, integrated measuring device, a balancing unit and comprehensive software. The concept of the ZP E/I model is based on the use of two independent grinding columns. Thus, these machines will be used by job shops primarily. The use of a common rotary table and the peripheral units such as cooling lubricant system significantly reduces the investment cost and floor space compared with two individual machines. Different rotary tables and column bases of the ZP series are available.
