Economical series production of worms The LC 80 WD worm milling machine is specially designed for the efficient and economical series production of worms. Due to the high machine rigidity and fast automation, the newly developed machine is perfectly suited for the series production of automotive steering worms and for a variety of industrial worm applications. Excellent workpiece quality combined with above-average tool life have been demonstrated in the extensive testing phase. This unique concept is equipped with an additional station where chamfering or brushing can be carried out during the...

LK 180 / 280 DC gear skiving machine Skiving³: machine – tool – process The new generation of gear skiving machines features a machine-integrated tool changer with up to 12 storage locations. This enables additional SkivingPlus functions such as turning, drilling and gear cutting. This significantly increases the system’s added value. Short set-up times are ensured by the integrated tool measuring device for skiving wheels. The unique LK 180 / 280 gear skiving machine combines maximum productivity with high flexibility. The skiving³ concept includes the machine, the technology and the optimally...

LS 180 E gear shaping machine The fully electronic shaping head The new LS 180 E gear shaping machine with an electronic shaping head stands out due to its enormous flexibility, as it can machine straight and angled gears in one clamping fixture and can therefore shape several gears on one workpiece. The simple control system of the flank line modification makes it possible to produce different crowning amounts, making the machine valuable for both the supply industry and for prototype development. With its small installation area and a maximum stroke speed of 1,500 double strokes, the machine...

LGG 180 / 280 generating gear grinding machine Topological CBN generating grinding as an economical alternative Topological generating grinding of complex component geometries generally leads to a reduction in the dressing interval when corundum tools are used. This increases the proportionate dressing time per workpiece with effects on machine productivity. Liebherr therefore offers topological generating grinding with electroplated CBN tools as an alternative for the LGG series. The dressing-free grinding tools combine high tool quality, simple handling and very long tool life. The low measuring...

WGT 280 gear measuring machine The WGT series The 4-axis measuring instruments of the WGT series have high-precision mechanics and electronics, which are controlled by smart and user-friendly software. They meet all accuracy requirements regarding gear wheel manufacturing and comply with VDI guideline VDI / VDE 2613, group 1. In addition to the gear measuring machine options available as standard, customer-specific solutions are also available, such as adjusting the travel range on the Z axis, longer tailstocks to accommodate long shafts and rotary tables adapted to the payload. An automatic...

The new control panel from Liebherr: User-friendly, customisable and mobile The new control panel combines the functions of a classic control station with those of a mobile handheld unit. The virtualised NC  PLC opera/  tion contained in the handheld unit guides the user through all input and monitoring processes in a technology-specific and situation-dependent manner. The result is consistent operation: from programming and set-up to production monitoring. Highlights • 24" main screen with Multi-Touch • Eight buttons or key switches, freely configurable to customer requirements • Two USB ports...

The new programming system from Liebherr: 25 % faster set-up time With the new LHGearTec software, the system constantly guides users when entering workpiece and tool data, as well as during workpiece correction and process monitoring. The user guidance was redefined in intensive cooperation with designers and users. Attention was also paid to the consistent integration of the control system in factory processes with open interfaces for both measurement processes (closed loop) and MES / MDE / PDA interfaces. There are numerous other highlights in conjunction with the new control system generation...

_j|V- f i Digitise your production The Liebherr LHWebPlatform offers a platform of data profiles and web apps which can be used to easily configure a tailor-made solution. The spectrum ranges from simple monitoring applications to far-reaching industrial 4.0 scenarios - such as process logging, manufacturing analysis and production optimisation. A wide variety of interfaces and protocols - from fieldbus (Profibus, Profinet) to OPC-UA or umati - enable Liebherr to connect machines to higher-level systems, for example. This gives the customer full control over their manufacturing: Highlights •...

Gear cutting tools New material and coating for gear cutting tools Gear cutting machines are getting faster and faster. Cutting speeds are getting higher and higher. The machined materials are getting tougher and tougher. And the tool has to keep up. In order to exploit the full potential of new and highly-efficient machines, the tool must also perform to ever higher levels. This is why Liebherr has set the material ASP 2052 with Alcrona Pro coating as the new standard for its stock tools. This guarantees that the tools can machine any material. Highlights Increased tool life Higher workpiece...

PHS 800 / 1500 Allround pallet handling system 50 % shorter changeover times due to double loader The PHS Allround pallet handling system enables all users to start working in the field of automated production with machining centres. The modular system can be individually configured and expanded at any time. The possibility of placing machines, additional devices and shelves at the front extends the flexibility of the system design. The detachable front access allows individual machines to be decoupled from the system, while the remaining machines continue to produce without restriction in automatic...
