At the same time, ever shorter grinding and set-up times are required to increase cost efficiency. To combine maximum productivity with the highest machining quality, we have developed an automatic tool change system. This allows the use of multiple grinding tools for different grinding operations \u2013 with a changeover time of less than two minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-139x104.jpg 139w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/kapp-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by KAPP NILES<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete tool change including spin cycle &lt; 2 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surface roughness Ra &lt; 0.2 \u00b5m achievable through the use of fine grinding wheels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Q\u02b9<sub>w<\/sub>\u00a0\u2265 30 mm<sup>3<\/sup>\/(mm.s) achievable in the roughing process through the use of high-performance roughing wheels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fewer dressing cycles thanks to reproducible grinding wheel positioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ergonomic set-up outside the machine parallel to primary processing time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapp-niles.com\/\">kapp-niles.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When manufacturing large gears, e.g. for wind power gearboxes, the demands regarding surface quality of the ground tooth flanks are increasing.
