Z1 A1 Z4 B1 C2 V1 C3 X1 2 The Machine Bed The rigidity of the machine structure was optimized using FEA simulation. Steep side walls and two integrated chip augers offer ef- ficient and reliable chip removal. This is especially impor- tant for dry cutting. The Hob Head A maintenance free direct drive AC motor is used for the hob spindle. Drive power up to 27 kW and speeds up to 3000 rpm offer large reserve capacity for future tool de- velopments. For very high torque requirements the hob head is equipped with a reduction gear drive. The tool interface is offered either with a hollow shaft ta- per (HSK), a collet or a steep taper (ISO). The Machine Table with direct or gear drive A backlash free table drive is essential for high precision gear cutting. For conventional cutting technology, a prov- en backlash free gear driven table is available. For high performance cutting, a high dynamic direct drive is avail- able to meet all requirements for spindle speed and ac- curacy. Integrated roll deburring and chamfering Roll deburring and chamfering of the gear teeth, with re- moval of secondary burr, is suitable for bore and shaft parts. The deburring and chamfering operation is parallel to the main cutting time. 3 The Controls – Intelligence from Experience In standard, the machines are delivered with Siemens- control in connection with Siemens-drives. The essential features of these advanced controls are: • PC based control technology • digital drive technology • integrated PLC • advanced field bus systems (profi bus) • TFT flat screen • optional network integration • dialog input tailored to gear machining • Teleservice • Diagnostic tools With these customer-oriented options, we satisfy the de- mands of the international markets. Versatile Workpiece Handling The tailstock column enables manual and automatic load- ing / unloading of bore- and shaft-type parts for dry and wet machining. The workpieces may optionally be clamped table-side with high clamping force or – for shorter cycle times – with an NC tailstock arm. Liebherr offers automatic load- ing/unloading and storage systems for a wide range of workpieces. Furthermore, the machine can be integrated into cell or line concepts. The machine offers quick change-over possibilities for flexible use via a quick change system for workpiece grip- per and fixtures. Automation - for any Requirement The Liebherr automation systems are based on long ex- perience, i.e. they are proven and effective solutions. For stand-alone machines, machining cells or production lines Liebherr is the competent partner. High Uptime - Friendly Maintenance The high performance of the machine requires low down- times and an easy maintainability. This is a prime asset of Liebherr. Therefore all control elements are integrated in the machine housing with ideal accessibility. 4 Technical Data LC 200 LC 300 LC 380 LC 500 Max. workpiece diameter mm 200 300 380 500 mm 7 (12) 7 (12) 7 (12) 7 (12) Max. axial travel mm 600 600 600 600 Table diameter mm 180 250 320 320 Table speed rpm 100/200/400 100/200/400 100/200/400 100/200/400 Center Distance between hob and table min. mm 15 15 15 15 max. mm 400 400 400 400 Hob-head swivel Shift 200 mm +/- 45 +/- 45 +/- 45 +/- 45 degrees Hob-head swivel Shift 300 mm +/- 35 +/- 35 +/- 35 +/- 35 Max. shift/tangential travel mm 200/300 200/300 200/300 200/300 Max. hob diameter mm 160 (220°) 160 (220°) 160 (220°) 160 (220°) Max. hob length mm 230/330 230/330 230/330 230/330 Axial rapid travel mm/min. 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 Radial rapid travel mm/min. 7,50 0 7,50 0 7,50 0 7,50 0 Tangential rapid travel mm/min. 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,000 Hob-spindle speed ranges rpm 500 500 500 500 rpm 750 750 750 750 rpm 1200/1500/3000 1200/1500/3000 1200/1500/3000 1200/1500/3000 Cutter-spindle drive capacity kW 14/27 14/27 14/27 14/27 Total weight of machine with tailstock column ca. kg 16,000 16,000 16,000 16,000 Total connected load ca. kVA 35-50 35-50 35-50 35-50 * FK 2.3 5655 3400 1850 970 H/S 1560 C CH 915 3810 E 600 625 2200 5 Machine Tools and Automation Systems by Liebherr With around sixty years of experience in the field, Liebherr is one of the world‘s leading manufacturers of CNC gear cutting machines, gear cutting tools and automation systems.

  • Ring Gear and Pinion Tooth Pattern Interpretation
    RING GEAR AND PINION TOOTH PATTERN INTERPRETATION The final pinion position will be verified by using the GEAR CONTACT PATTERN METHOD described as follows: The TOE of the gear is the portion of the tooth surface at the end towards the center. The HEEL of the gear tooth is the portion of the tooth surface at the outer-end. The TOP LAND of a gear tooth is the surface of the top of the tooth. Every gear has a characteristic pattern. RING GEAR TOOTH PROFILE There are two types of gears which are determined by the machining method. One is manufactured by FACE HOBBING, while the other one is manufactured by FACE MILLING. You must first determine the type of gear that you have in order to know which gear pattern chart to use as described in this bulletin. To do this, notice the depth of the ring gear tooth - dimension "A" and "B". If the gear was manufactured using the FACE HOBBING method, both "A" and "B" will be of equal depth. If the gear was manufactured using the FACE MILLING method, "A" will be larger than "B". Once the type of ring gear machining method has been identified, refer to the proper gear pattern chart. FACE HOBBING FACE MILLING NOTE: WHEN MAKING CHANGES, NOTE THAT TWO VARIABLES ARE INVOLVED. EXAMPLE: IF YOU HAVE THE BACKLASH SET CORRECTLY TO THE SPECIFICATION AND YOU CHANGE THE PINION POSITION SHIM, YOU MAY HAVE TO READJUST THE BACKLASH TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION BEFORE CHECKING THE PATTERN. REFER TO PATTERN INTERPRETATION. BULLETIN 5717-A 5/02 1 of 3 Spicer Technology, Inc.

  • Basic Gear Systems
    Basic Gear Systems A number of gears connected together is called a “Gear Train”. The gear train is another mechanism for transmitting rotary motion and torque. Unlike a belt and pulley, or chain and sprocket, no linking device (belt or chain) is required. Gears have teeth which interlock (or mesh) directly with one another. Advantages The main advantages of gear train transmission systems are that because the teeth on any gear intermesh with the next gear in the train, the gears can't slip. (An exact ratio is maintained.) Large forces can be transmitted. The number of turns a gear makes can be easily controlled. High ratios between the input and the output are easily possible. Disadvantages The main disadvantage of a gear system is it usually needs a lubrication system to reduce wear to the teeth. Oil or grease is used to reduce friction and heat caused by the teeth rubbing together. Gear systems to increase and decrease rotational velocity Gears are used to increase or decrease the speed or power of rotary motion. The measure of how much the speed or power is changed by a gear train is called the gear ratio (velocity ratio). This is equal to the number of teeth on the driver gear divided by the number of teeth on the driven gear. To decrease the speed of the output the driver gear is smaller than the driven gear. (This will reduce the speed but increase the “torque”.) This diagram shows a small gear (A) driving a larger gear (B). Because there are more teeth on the driven gear there is a reduction in output speed.

INC: AUTO-MESHING RACK AND PINION GEAR Auto‐meshing rack and pinion gear In a mechanical system with a rack and pinion, typically the rack and pinion are always engaged with each other but, in some instances, it is necessary to have the pinion gear disengage and engage with the rack. When this happens, the rack and gear need to mesh properly each time that they engage. If the gears do not properly mesh, then the system can lockup, gears can break, or other similar problems occur. One example of this is in a large format printer with a user replaceable printhead cleaner. A rack can be permanently placed in the printer (Figure 1), and then the printhead cleaner contain moving parts driven by the rack. The moving parts could be caps, spitrollers, webwipes, etc. An example of gears locking is shown in Figure 2.

  • Gear Rolling for Production of High Gears Alireza Khodaee
    Gear Rolling for Production of High Gears Alireza Khodaee Gear Rolling for Production of High Gears Alireza Khodaee Licentiate Thesis, 2015 KTH Royal Institute of Technology Industrial Engineering and Management Department of Production Engineering SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden TRITA-IIP-15-06 ISSN: 1650-1888 ISBN: 978-91-7595-678-7 Abstract Gears are used to transmit mechanical work from one point to another. They are widely used in different mechanisms and they are the most important components of a transmission system. Thus, it is important that they are manufactured with high precision to deliver the work with highest possible efficiency. The dominant gear production method is metal cutting, like hobbing. The gear manufacturing industry aims to replace their traditional production lines with greener processes and thereby urge engineers to think about using metal forming methods instead of the traditional metal cutting solutions when possible. Gear rolling is an interesting metal forming method that can be an alternative method to fabricate gear wheels. Research on gear rolling firstly came into interest around 2000. Very few papers are published that covers the development of the method and its limitations and advantages. Almost all of these publications considered rolling of gear wheels with small modules. The focus of this study will be on application of gear rolling for gear wheels with large module (over 3 mm) where the amount of deformation is much larger than found in previous studies. In this thesis the Finite Element Method has been used to simulate and predict the results of rolling of high gears. In addition to that experiments were performed to validate the numerical results and develop the modelling technique for further investigations.

  • General Applications of Gears
    UNIT - III GEAR MANUFACTURING PROCESS SPRX1008 – PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY - II Gears are widely used in various mechanisms and devices to transmit power and motion positively (without slip) between parallel, intersecting (axis) and non-intersecting non parallel shafts, •without change in the direction of rotation •with change in the direction of rotation •without change of speed (of rotation) •with change in speed at any desired ratio Often some gearing system (rack – and – pinion) is also used to transform Rotary motion into linear motion and vice-versa. Fig.1 Features of Spur Gear Gears are basically wheels having, on its periphery, equispaced teeth which are so designed that those wheels transmit, without slip, rotary motion smoothly and uniformly with minimum friction and wear at the mating tooth – profiles. To achieve those favorable conditions, most of the gears have their tooth form based on in volute curve, which can simply be defined as Locus of a point on a straight line which is rolled on the periphery of a circle or Locus of the end point of a stretched string while its unwinding over a cylinder as indicated in Fig. General Applications of Gears Gears of various type, size and material are widely used in several machines and systems requiring positive and stepped drive. The major applications are: • Speed gear box, feed gear box and some other kinematic units of machine tools • Speed drives in textile, jute and similar machineries • Gear boxes of automobiles • Speed and / or feed drives of several metal forming machines • Machineries for mining, tea processing etc. • Large and heavy duty gear boxes used in cement industries, sugar industries, cranes, conveyors etc.
