RAPID 4000

HÖFLER Cylindrical Gear Grinding Machine

Giant with absolute precision, speed, and flexibility

The RAPID 4000 cylindrical gear grinding machine is the specialist for large, heavy workpieces up to 4,000 mm in diameter and weighing up to 40 tons. These giants combine maximum dimensions with absolute precision, speed, and flexibility: Topologically correct results with reduced grinding times and an optional internal grinding device form the basis for economical, reliable cylindrical gear production on this scale.

Hob sharpening

  • Costs reduced as specialist machines are no longer required
  • Automatic tool centering thanks to measuring probe and grinding wheel
  • Freely adjustable process values and dressing parameters minimize the tool surface roughness and increase its quality and service life
  • Ideal even for very large hobs
  • Profile, tooth flank, and pitch of the sharpened surfaces can be measured
