At this year's EMO Hannover trade fair, the machine engineering company Klingelnberg will present the precision measuring centers P 26, P 40, the Höfler gear testing machine R 300, the Höfler gear grinding machine Speed Viper, and the Oerlikon bevel gear grinding machine G 30. In addition, ROTEC, a subsidiary of KLINGELNBERG AG, will showcase its solutions for the highly accurate capture and evaluation of rotational speeds and angular positions. The topic of Smart Factory – the future of the manufacturing industry – will also be a focal point. With the integration of IoT, AI, and real-time data analysis, factories are becoming smarter, more efficient, and more adaptable than ever before. Last but not least, our trade fair highlights include the further development of our tool systems and the modular construction kit concept for flexible machining of internal gears.
P 26 – For applications related to gear and geometry measurement
Compact and designed to meet the needs of the automotive industry, the precision measuring center P 26 is very popular among customers. New measuring and evaluation methods, the implementation of innovative measuring systems, and consistent quality and reliability form the foundation of decades of success. After more than 30 years, Klingelnberg is taking new paths in machine control: the seventh machine generation is equipped with a Beckhoff control system of the latest generation, which meets both current and future expansions as well as the requirements of the new EU Machinery Directive.
Due to their accuracy and reliability, Klingelnberg precision measuring centers are used worldwide not only by many customers but also by renowned metrology institutes as references. The established combination of tactile (3D NANOSCAN) and optical measurement technology (HISPEED OPTOSCAN) for measuring cylindrical gears is now also available for this series with the latest development status. In addition to optical pitch measurement, a continuous, helical measurement over the entire circumference and tooth width is also performed. This allows for the capture of not only the profiles of all teeth but also the topology of all teeth. The significant time advantage over tactile measurement and the resulting new possibilities in practice elevate deviation analysis for noise detection to a new level.
P 40 – All-rounder for reducing measurement times in series measurement thanks to hybrid solution
The hybrid measuring technology introduced in 2020 was developed to meet the demand for higher measurement speed while maintaining accuracy. The goal is to verify the maximum number of components with a minimal number of machines. The hybrid measuring technology is continuously refined to expand functionality and create additional value – focusing on specific customer requirements.
All Klingelnberg precision measuring centers from the P 26 to P 65 series of the 6th and 7th generation can optionally be retrofitted with the optical sensor (HISPEED OPTOSCAN).
Current precision measuring centers can optionally be equipped as standard with this technology and the previously mentioned measuring and evaluation options. Through the consistent use of the standardized GDE (Gear Data Exchange) interface for the import and export of data and measurement results, Klingelnberg has set another standard in measuring technology 4.0 in the area of diagnosis of measurement results and networking of production machines and measuring technology – the so-called Closed Loop.
R 300 – The Gear Noise Finder
With the measuring technology of the Höfler gear testing machine R 300, the causes of gear noise that can be attributed to poor gear quality can be reliably identified. Due to the short measurement duration, the R 300 can be easily integrated into any manufacturing process and enables 100% quality control of the produced gears. The R 300 is designed for all methods of gear testing that are relevant for assessing the running and noise behavior of gears. This includes single flank rolling test, body sound, and rotational acceleration testing. Additionally, a two-flank rolling test can be performed if necessary.
Depending on the configuration, the R 300 allows for the testing of wheels and shafts, which is particularly important for components from the eDrive powertrain. Due to the 100% quality control, significant amounts of data are generated compared to random sampling tests. For data analysis and reporting, the data from the R 300 can be processed accordingly using the Klingelnberg Gear Noise Analyzer (GNA) software, and tolerances for production monitoring can be developed.
Speed Viper 300 – for highly productive rolling grinding in large-scale production
The Höfler gear grinding machine Speed Viper – focusing on highly productive rolling and polishing grinding in large-scale production – is available in three different machine types depending on individual requirements: Speed Viper 300 as a single-spindle version and Speed Viper² 180 and 80 as double-spindle versions. Depending on the model, the Speed Viper is designed for maximum workpiece diameters of 80, 180, and 300 mm. With the double-spindle concept Speed Viper², the shortest auxiliary times are achieved.
Additionally, the Speed Viper can be equipped with partial or full automation with an automation interface according to VDMA 34180 standard. The machine software Gear Operator and a process-oriented operator guidance using wizard technology allow for easy handling even in the most complex applications. Last but not least, modern drive and control technology ensures maximum energy efficiency.
G 30 – Quiet Bevel Grinding for noise optimization of ground bevel gears
With Quiet Bevel Grinding, Klingelnberg offers a solution for noise optimization of ground bevel gears. By a low-frequency harmonic variation of the machine kinematics from gap to gap, the topographies of the individual tooth flanks are individually modified. As a result, this leads to the excitation of not only individual tonal frequencies but also the distribution of sound energy across additional frequencies. The resulting noise resembles a multifrequency noise, which is perceived as significantly more pleasant psychoacoustically.
For manufacturing, Quiet Bevel Grinding has the charm that it can be implemented without affecting cycle time and does not interfere with gear measurement. Due to the targeted distribution of modifications around the circumference of the component, the proven Closed Loop can be applied without any issues.
ROTEC Measuring Systems – Precise rotational speed and angle measurement
Klingelnberg's subsidiary Rotec presents its solutions for the highly accurate capture and evaluation of rotational speeds and angular positions. The angle-based measurement approach and the processing of data in the order domain are particularly suitable for analyzing rotating components, determining transmission errors in gears, single flank rolling tests, and analyzing powertrains.
The Rotec measuring system includes the rotational speed sensors, signal conditioning, the modular measuring system RASdelta, as well as the measurement and analysis software. Additionally, the Rotec engineering team offers to take over complete measuring projects as an external service provider.
Smart Factory – The future of the manufacturing industry
The Smart Factory revolutionizes the development, manufacturing, and delivery processes of products. With the integration of IoT, AI, and real-time data analysis, factories are becoming smarter, more efficient, and more adaptable than ever before. From predictive maintenance to minimize downtime to digital workflows for process optimization, the Smart Factory enables higher productivity, lower costs, and better quality.
The future of industry is not only automated but also connected, data-driven, and optimized for peak performance. At the EMO Hannover trade fair, the expert team will present this new solution.
Advanced tool systems – solutions for every challenge
The performance of a machine depends on the quality of the tools and clamping devices used. That’s why Klingelnberg is setting new standards in this area – with the highest precision, reliability, and innovative technology. At EMO Hannover, visitors can expect not only a comprehensive range of new products from the fields of machines, quality, and software solutions but also groundbreaking developments and innovations in the area of tool systems.
