Oerlikon Bevel Gear Grinding Machine

Leading-Edge Technology for Optimal Flexibility and Maximum Productivity

Specifically tailored to the requirements of the aviation industry, the Oerlikon G 35 bevel gear grinding machine takes aviation gear manufacturing to a new level with its two vertical grinding spindles. Tried and tested concepts and components were used to ensure optimal functionality and the best possible availability of spare parts for this special-purpose machine.

Highlight

Oerlikon Bevel Gear Grinding Machine G 35

Vertical Machine Concept for Reliable Process Sequences

  • Vertical grinding spindle for optimal chip removal
  • Excellent visual process monitoring capability during process positioning, thanks to an optimal machining position of the vertical grinding spindles
  • Component and clamping device change option “with gravity” in the vertical direction
  • Smooth surfaces and minimal interference contours in the working chamber combined with efficient interior cleaning to eliminate grinding sludge deposits (optional)

Dual-Spindle Concept for Machining with Two Grinding Wheels

  • Aircraft gears produced by the 5-cut method in a single setup for optimal gear concentricity
  • Use of separate grinding wheels for roughing and finishing enables high-productivity grinding of duplex gears with ultra-high surface finishes
  • Two independently positionable grinding heads for maximum flexibility, collision-free operation, and easy set-up
  • Grinding head positioning with highly dynamic linear drives minimizes auxiliary time

Minimal Retooling and Configuration Times

  • Simultaneous, automatic set-down and pick-up of grinding wheel and oil ring for fast tool changes
  • Fully accessible working chamber through front service door
  • Two dressing position options on the grinding wheel periphery provide greater flexibility for optimal adjustment of the cooling nozzles
  • Efficient grinding wheel preprofiling and reprofiling with special dressing software

Maximum Process Reliability with Continuous Monitoring

  • Automatic contact detection for dressing with AE sensor (optional) enables minimal dressing amounts without risk of profile loss
  • Air gap control (optional) to ensure correct component seating for automatic loading
  • Allowance check for time-neutral detection of improperly machined components
  • Grinding power monitoring with emergency retraction for automatic stopping of the machine in the event of a sudden power increase

“Single-Piece” Grinding Oil Supply

  • Nozzles for process cooling and cleaning mounted on a removable single-piece element (oil ring) ensure optimal reproducibility of the grinding oil supply
  • Automatic oil ring change (optional)
  • Innovative, high-pressure-resistant telescope system for quick and easy adjustment of the grinding oil supply with minimal tool requirements for shorter retooling times
  • Fully sealed system for maximum process cooling efficiency
  • Constant machining conditions thanks to automatic adjustment over the grinding wheel service life
