Product catalog summary
Machine Concept
Liebherr hobbing machines, specifically the LC 200-500 series, are designed for universal gear applications, offering high performance and quality. Key features include six CNC axes, optimized machine bed stiffness, thermo-symmetrical design, and capabilities for both wet and dry processing. The machines are flexible for various processes such as gear, shaft, and worm gear machining, and are compact for easy implementation.
Axes and Loading
The machine includes several axes for different movements, such as radial, tangential, axial, and rotary. An optional steady column with a ring loader allows for fast loading and unloading, supporting workpieces up to 100 kg.
Table Drives and Hob Heads
The machine table features a zero-backlash drive for precision, with options for conventional or high-performance cutting. Hob heads are available with gear or direct drive, catering to high torque and speed requirements.
Chamfer/Deburring
Chamfering and deburring can be integrated into the working area, with options like ChamferCut for high-quality chamfers and roll-press devices for efficient burr removal. These processes can run simultaneously with hobbing.
Technical Data
The LC series supports workpiece diameters from 200 to 500 mm, with a maximum workpiece weight of 100 kg. The machines offer various table speeds and hob head swivel angles, with a total connected load ranging from 35 to 50 kVA.
Software and Efficiency
The LHGe@rTec® interface provides user-friendly operation with features like intuitive configuration, touch screen, and integrated webcam. Energy efficiency is emphasized through regenerative drive technology, LED lighting, and efficient coolant systems.
Automation and Additional Features
Liebherr offers various automation solutions, including drag frame conveyors, hinged chain conveyors, and robot cells. The company also provides high-quality gear cutting tools and automation systems for diverse applications.
