AMB 2022 and IMTS 2022 – KLINGELNBERG to Present Solutions for Smooth-Running Gearboxes

Every two years since 1982, AMB has presented the highlights of the international metalworking industry. This year, it will take place in Stuttgart, Germany from 13 to 17 September 2022. System-supplier Klingelnberg will also be back, at booth C41 in Hall 5, where it will be highlighting solutions for smooth-running gearboxes. The exhibit will feature the Höfler Cylindrical Gear Grinding Machine Speed Viper, the Klingelnberg Precision Measuring Center P 40 and the newly developed Höfler Cylindrical Gear Roll Testing Machine R 300. The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) – one of the longest-running industry trade shows according to event organizers – will take place from 12 to 17 September 2022, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois (USA). Klingelnberg will make an appearance here too, in booth 236935 in the North Building. 

Speed Viper and R 300 – The Ideal Combination
The electrification of the automobile has brought about a fundamental change in the design and quality requirements of a car’s drive train. The number of gears in the gearbox has been significantly reduced, while the noise behavior of the gearbox has gained even greater importance as a decisive quality characteristic. This has given rise to the requirement for 100% quality testing of the gears before they are installed in the gearbox, in order to minimize the number of complaints during end-of-line testing.

As a result, it is only logical to perform the gear inspection directly following hard finishing. The Klingelnberg production cell – consisting of the Cylindrical Gear Grinding Machine Speed Viper, the CompactLoader and the integrated Cylindrical Gear Roll Testing Machine R 300 – is ideally suited for this purpose. The production cell can be equipped with all machine models in the Speed Viper series – from the Speed Viper 80² (dual spindle) to the Speed Viper 300. Whatever the setup, the 100% quality inspection is always carried out with the Höfler Cylindrical Gear Roll Testing Machine R 300. With the R 300, all five known roll testing methods are optionally available. The inspection focuses on noise assessment, but on tests performed in single-flank contact: single-flank test, angular acceleration test and structure-borne noise test. The quasistatic single-flank test provides a comparison to tooth contact analysis, the digital twin of the single-flank test. The result gives information about the quality of the gear geometry and correlates with pitch and tooth flank topography. The dynamic angular acceleration and structure-borne noise test procedures are an ideal complement to the single-flank test for evaluating noise quality. The Klingelnberg production cell is the solution for the manufacture and 100% quality testing of high-precision gears for the electric drive train. With the optionally available R 300 production monitor, users always have a documented overview of the current key quality indicators in their operations. 

Klingelnberg Precision Measuring Center P 40 with Hybrid Metrology
Klingelnberg will also be presenting the tried-and-tested P 40 precision measuring center with hybrid metrology. Klingelnberg Hybrid Metrology is a smart combination of tactile and optical measuring technology. An optical sensor system developed specifically for gear measurement, as well as the rapid changeover between the 3D NANOSCAN tactile sensing system and the HISPEED OPTOSCAN optical sensor, enable flexible, fast, and highly precise measured value acquisition under all conditions.

Klingelnberg at AMB 2022 and IMTS 2022
The Klingelnberg team of experts at each venue is looking forward to many discussions with trade show visitors at the AMB 2022 in Hall 5, Booth C41 and at IMTS in the North Building, Booth 236935.
