KAPP KX 160 TWIN – Series Production Enhancement
The KAPP KX 160 TWIN is designed to improve the series production of gears, focusing on the hard finishing of shaft teeth. It uses galvanically plated CBN globoid worms for efficient continuous profile grinding. The machine's vertical clamping ensures consistent positioning of gears, minimizing thermal effects. It employs roughing and finishing tools with varying tooth widths and CBN grains to achieve precise geometry and surface finishes.

Highly Productive Shaft Grinding
The KX 160 TWIN meets the automotive industry's needs for diverse, cost-effective, and high-quality gears. It supports workpieces up to 250 mm in diameter and features a modular design with an index table and two workpiece spindles. High-dynamic direct drives enhance productivity by reducing idle times. An integrated gear measuring system optimizes setup and reduces the need for external measurements.

Gear Grinding with Integrated Measuring
Advancements in gear grinding focus on reducing process time and integrating measuring devices within machines. These devices match the capabilities of external measuring machines, allowing for automated setup and process adjustments, thus enhancing efficiency.

Productivity Increases in Gear Grinding
The demand for gear grinding machines is rising, driven by sectors like wind energy. Productivity improvements focus on reducing idle times and optimizing grinding processes. Technologies such as direct drives and advanced software increase measuring speeds and reduce roughing times by 15-30%. Innovations in grinding wheels and coolant flow further boost productivity.

Service Focus During Economic Downturn
Despite economic challenges, KAPP Technologies emphasizes service, offering preventative maintenance and training. Investing in machine maintenance and staff training is crucial for reducing downtime and enhancing productivity. The service department aims to minimize long-term machine costs while maintaining service excellence.

Educational Initiatives and Awards
KAPP Group promotes engineering education through awards and training programs. The "Award to Recruit Young Talents for Engineering" encourages students to pursue natural science degrees. The company offers diverse career opportunities and apprenticeships, emphasizing the importance of a skilled future workforce.
