Product catalog summary
Introduction
Liebherr has developed a new generation of CNC Gear Hobbing Machines, models LC 60, 100, and 130, designed to enhance quality, productivity, and reliability in gear manufacturing. These machines are compact, requiring 20% less floor space, and incorporate an integral loader and part storage system.

Specifications
The machines feature increased axis and spindle speeds, allowing for complex machining processes such as roughing, finishing, and chamfering in one setup. The tool spindle speed reaches a maximum of 7000 RPM, enabling cutting speeds up to 1700 m/min. Table speeds can reach up to 1400 RPM, facilitating the use of multi-start hobs to reduce cutting time.

Loading and Efficiency
The high-speed swivel loader reduces workpiece loading time to 1.4 seconds, achieving a chip-to-chip time of less than 3 seconds. The ringloader offers a chip-to-chip time of 4.4 seconds.

Customer Expectations and Machine Development
Development was influenced by customer feedback and practical experience, focusing on minimized setup time, ease of operation, and reduced complexity. Standard features include a quick-change gripper system, automatic counterbearing, and a 2-station ringloader.

Customer Benefits
The machines are designed for high availability with minimal maintenance, featuring a grease lubrication system for guideways and clearly identified maintenance areas for electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic components.

Technical Data
Key specifications include:
  • Max. workpiece diameter: 60 mm (LC 60), 100 mm (LC 100), 130 mm (LC 130)
  • Max. nominal module for steel: 2.75 mm
  • Hob slide travel (axial): 200 mm
  • Table diameter: 125 mm
  • Hob spindle speed: 7000 RPM
  • Drive power, hob spindle: 15 kW
  • Machine weight with tailstock column: Approx. 8000 kg
