Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What types of bevel gears can your machines produce?
Our CNC machines are capable of producing straight, spiral (both Gleason and Klingelnberg systems), and hypoid bevel gears. The specific capabilities depend on the machine model and the software/cutter head configuration selected.
How does your machine ensure accuracy in bevel gear cutting?
Accuracy is ensured through a combination of factors: a thermally symmetric and vibration-damped machine structure, precision ground ball screws and linear guides, laser-calibrated axis positioning, and advanced CNC systems that compensate for thermal growth and mechanical errors in real-time.
What is the typical lead time from order to installation?
Standard machine delivery is typically 4-6 months from order confirmation. This includes manufacturing, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and preparation for shipment. Timelines for highly customized systems may vary.
Do you provide training for operators and programmers?
Yes. We offer comprehensive on-site and/or in-factory training programs covering machine operation, maintenance, programming, and troubleshooting for your technical staff.
Can your machines be integrated into an existing automated production line?
Absolutely. Our machines are designed with Industry 4.0 standards in mind. They feature standard interfaces for robotic integration, pallet systems, and centralized data management, allowing for seamless integration into both new and existing automated workflows.
