CNC bevel gear cutter has small footprint

CNC bevel gear cutting machine has a design that permits the shortest possible structural overhang of both cutter and work for maximum stiffness and thermal stability.
Gleasons new CNC Bevel Gear Cutting Machine Phoenix II 600HC features the unique monolithic column design. It is particularly well-suited for dry machining, but can accommodate wet cutting processes. Based on the highly successful Gleason Phoenix II 275HC, but designed for workpiece diameters as large as 600mm, the concept of the new 600HC occupies 35% less floor space than comparable models in its class.

The cutter spindle and work spindle are mounted directly to the column, and the cutter spindle pivots to create the root angle, rather than mounting the work spindle on a rotating base.

This permits the shortest possible structural overhang of both cutter and work for maximum stiffness and thermal stability.

The 600HC also features direct-drive spindle motors, which further reduces set-up and machining times by eliminating the need for mechanical adjustments and change gears.

Higher acceleration/deceleration rates and increased torque, combined with shorter, faster axis motions reduce non-cutting time between cycles and increase overall productivity during machining.

The 600HC is available with latest Fanuc CNC controls, and can be furnished with Gleason Machine Manager software to simplify set-up and operation in a Windows environment.
