Product catalog summary
Machine Concept
The LGG 180/280 generating and profile grinding machines are designed for processing gears up to 180/280 mm in diameter and workpieces up to 650 mm in length. They offer high-quality, reliable grinding for high-volume operations with a single-table solution for all gears. The machine bed is made of thermally stable material, and it features fast loading with an integrated ring loader, achieving chip-to-chip times of 4 seconds for gears and 6.5 seconds for shafts.
Grinding Heads
The machines are equipped with external grinding heads and can be supplemented with internal grinding heads. The external grinding heads feature high drive power and speeds, with internal spindle balancing systems. The adaptable internal grinding heads can be mounted easily and are driven via the main drive. Specifications include speeds up to 12,000 rpm and various grinding spindle drive powers.
Technological Features
The machines support deviation-free topological grinding and new technological possibilities such as superimposition of rolled end relief with conventional topological corrections. They offer high process reliability for surface quality and include gear on-board inspection capabilities.
Technical Data
The LGG 180/280 machines have a maximum workpiece diameter of 180/280 mm for hob and profile grinding, with a maximum workpiece speed of 3,000 min-1. The machines weigh approximately 13-14 tons and have a total connected load of 32 kVA.
Software and Control Technology
The LHGe@rTec® interface offers user-friendly operation with features like individual configuration, intuitive operation, and integrated webcam. The Collision Control software minimizes damage from unexpected impacts.
Energy and Resource Efficiency
The machines incorporate regenerative drive technology, efficient control cabinet chillers, LED lighting, and speed-controlled pumps for coolant supply and treatment. Additional features include pneumatic-free automation and monitoring of air consumption.
Automation Systems
Liebherr offers various automation systems, including drag frame conveyors, hinged chain conveyors, robot cells, and palletizing cells, to enhance productivity and logistics.
Company Overview
Liebherr is a leading manufacturer of CNC gear cutting machines, gear cutting tools, and automation systems, with production facilities worldwide. Their products are known for economy, ease of use, quality, and reliability.

External and internal grinding heads The LGG machines are suitable for hob grinding and profile grinding. As standard, the machines are equipped with an external grinding head and can be supplemented with an internal grinding head. Process-optimised external and internal grinding heads are available for the LGG. In both external grinding heads, internal spindle balancing systems are employed. High drive power and speeds are great benefits, e.g. when used with new grinding material. Simple and fast replacement of the grinding pin is made possible by means of modern tool clamping. For collision-critical...
