KX 160 / 260 TWIN

Product catalog summary
Overview: The KX TWIN series machines are designed for continuous generating grinding using both dressable and non-dressable tools. They are ideal for high production volumes in medium and large batch production of gears and shafts.
Design and Functionality: The machines feature two identical workpiece spindles on opposing sides of a rotary indexing table. This allows one part to be machined while the second spindle simultaneously loads, unloads, and aligns another part, optimizing production efficiency.
Automation: The machines are optimized for automatic loading with a standardized, cost-effective combination of a pallet conveyor and gantry loader.
Optional Features: The KX 260 TWIN offers an optional profile grinding function. With an optional high-speed grinding spindle, it can grind gears with interfering edges, requiring a tool diameter of 55 mm for generating grinding or 20 mm for profile grinding.
Specifications:
  • KX 160 TWIN (HS): Max tip diameter: 170 mm, Max workpiece length: 770 mm, Module range: 0.5 - 4.5 mm, Max face width: 320 (520) mm, Max helix angle: ±45 degrees.
  • KX 260 TWIN (HS): Max tip diameter: 260 mm, Max workpiece length: 770 mm, Module range: 0.5 - 6 mm, Max face width: 320 (520) mm, Max helix angle: ±45 degrees.

KX  160  /  260  TWIN-1

KX TWIN series Gear centres Twin spindle concept with rotary indexing table Flexible connection to different concepts of automation Minimal nonproductive times Machines of the KX TWIN series have been designed for continuous generating grinding with dressable and non-dressable tools. They are particularly suitable for the high production volumes in the medium and large batch production of gears and shafts. The concept includes two identical workpiece spindles arranged at opposing sides of an rotary indexing table. While machining one part, the second workpiece spindle simultaneously loads / unloads and aligns another part. 18 The machines are optimised for automatic loading with a standardised, cost-effective combination of pallet conveyor and gantry loader. The profile grinding function is optionally available for the KX 260 TWIN. By using an optional high-speed grinding spindle (HS), it is even possible to grind gears with interfering edges which require a tool diameter of 55 mm (generating grinding) or 20 mm (profile grinding).
