KAPP NILES is taking account of production issues handling outdated machines by concentrating on modernisation work Retrofit. The advantages of an overhaul simply cannot be denied. Reinstalling cutting edge hard- and software enables restoring and even increasing precision as well as performance.
Up-to-date control components reduce maintenance costs by shortening the cycle period of the editing process.
A graphically refurbished software facilitates handling of the machine. Additionally, several features are offered that significantly speed up data entry and edit of the grinding programme.
Furthermore, retrofitting the new control and its installed interfaces prepares the machine for Industry 4.0 challenges. That way, today every retrofit machine is equipped with the latest remote maintenance technology.
What does Closed Loop by KAPP NILES include?
- Standardised transmission (GDE format) of correction values via network or USB
- Automatic or manual execution of corrections
- Correction values for profile angle deviation fh?, flank line angle deviation fh? and tooth width, sphere dimension, two-ball dimension Wk
What are the advantages of Closed Loop by KAPP NILES?
- Automatic correction of series parts during production according to defined rules, if necessary with spindle reference
- Reduction of the rejection rate
- Compatibility with machines from other manufacturers (both machining and measuring machine)
What does Condition Monitoring include?
- Monitoring of the linear and rotatory axes by reference runs
- Evaluation of the wear condition through indices from 0-100 and prognosis regarding durability
- Interface to other (digital) products in your production system, e.g. parts tracing
What are the advantages of Condition Monitoring?
- Reduction of unplanned machine downtime
- No unnecessary or premature replacement of components ? Reduction of inventory costs
- Maintenance of production quality through monitoring of quality-relevant components
What does Remote Service include? - Processing your service requests via a ticket system - Support through live video, voice over IP, chat and whiteboard functions - Documentation of your service activities for each system can be viewed in the system archive What are the advantages of Remote Service? - Faster and easier support and solution finding through targeted communication via a ticket system (no e-mail traffic) - Documentation, operating manuals and e-plans for each machine are digital and up-to-date available
Digital solutions from KAPP NILES are displayed in the software platform KN assist. Our digital products aim to generate the greatest possible added value for you. Quality, availability, efficiency, resources, user-friendliness and service play a major role here.

- Interface to your systems for transmitting the data records
What are the advantages of Part tracing?
- Complete traceability and documentation of all manufactured components
- Evaluation of data for process optimisation
- Reduction of the rejection rate through rapid identification of anomalies and potential sources of error together with connected analytical systems
What does Process Monitoring include?
- Monitoring of the worm condition and analysis of ripples / orders
- Evaluation of the condition and indications based on the adjustable limits
- Interface to other products (such as parts tracing) and export function for analysis outside the machine
What are the advantages of Process Monitoring?
- Reduction of rejection rates through 100 % inspection of all components
- Early detection of defects ? Timely rejection of conspicuous components
- Process monitoring can be adapted to your individual requirements
What does Tool Management include?
- Guided change sequences (step by step)
- Avoidance of incorrect installation of a component with simultaneous flexibility
- Display of all relevant component information (ID, geometry data, process data, ...)
What are the advantages of Tool Management?
- Reduction of the risk of crashes due to the set-up of an incorrect component
- Reduction of preparation times for grinding project
- Support in planning and analysing the condition of a component
