TOOTHED QUALITY The international reputation of our company is based on our continuous efforts to achieve quality. We rely on long-term experience, expertise and reliability of our employees. Since 1999 we are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001/2008. The quality of our products is systematically planned, monitored and tested during production. The results are documented in measurement reports and certificates: Material certifications according to DIN EN 10204 Heat treatment protocols Annealing records Dimension records Gear measurement diagrams Certificates for classification societies such as ABS, DNV, GL, BV, etc. Certificates according to DB quality inspection I Gear Manufacturing Bevel gear sets Klingelnberg Cyclo-Palloid and Palloid, Gleason, Kurvex, Face couplings Gear Wheels Spur and helical gears (external and internal), double helical and herringbone gears Worm gearsets CAVEX, Duplex, standard profile Engineering Overhauls, maintenance, modernization and new building of gear cutting machines. The frames of well-known manufacturers form the basis for the new machine after through overhaul and maintenance. Due to the equipment with latest control and measurement technique as well as overhaul of all guideways and drives the New one offers state-of-the-art efficiency. The integration of new technologies or additional axes allows economic and technically perfect production of all components.
FROM 50 TO 3000 MM BEVEL GEAR PRODUCTION Special tools are used for hard cutting; the tips consist of polycrystalline boron nitride. The HPG-S method guarantees complete removal of the distortions after heat treatment at which exactly defined load capacities and outstanding surface qualities can be achieved which is having positive effects on the reliability and quiet running. Achieving best possible properties regarding strength and stiffness and minimized noise emission requires comprehensive adaptation of the gear geometry and the flank topography. We take into account the continuously increasing demands of our customers by being able to realize almost all necessary modifications, such as crowning and depth crowning, tip relief and root relief as well as exact root radius with our grinding technology. 5-axis milling offers new options in processing gear teeth. Beside the known profiles including their modifications it is possible to realize any geometries at highest precision which were impossible to manufacture before. The procedure is well suitable for green cutting as well as for hard cutting. Combined with latest measuring technology it is possible to perfectly adapt gear teeth of the new part to existing (run-in) gear teeth. Cost and procurement lead times for expensive spare parts are considerably reduced. HPG method / skiving Bevel Gear Grinding 5-axis CNC milling According to the manufacturing processes Klingelnberg Cyclo Palloid Palloid Gleason Kurvex Oerlikon 5-axis machining up to 3000 mm, module 2-33 We manufacture spiral bevel and hypoid bevel gears in almost any required qualities and types from subcontract machining up to fully-finished system components from precision gears to high load face couplings batch sizes from 1 to several hundreds and from module 0.8 to 33 For demanding applications not only the capacity calculation is important, but also the definition of the flank geometry is of determining importance for noise and temperature behaviour.

THE GEAR TEETH ARE IMPORANT SPUR GEAR PRODUCTION 5-axis milling offers new options in processing gear teeth. Beside the known profiles including their modifications it is possible to realize any geometries at highest precision which were impossible to manufacture before. The procedure is well suitable for green cutting as well as for hard cutting. Combined with latest measuring technology it is possible to perfectly adapt gear teeth of the new part to existing (run-in) gear teeth. Cost and procurement lead times for expensive spare parts are considerably reduced. For us shaped internal geared wheels of quality 7 according to DIN are state-of-the-art. Our specialists guarantee the required quality and economic production depending on the most important technical parameters. The considerably increased requirements in transfer accuracy and smoothness of gears also demands considerably higher quality of the internal gear - we offer you the quantum leap for noise optimized precise gears. Economic production at highest precision. We meet these requirements in particular in demanding branches such as railway technology, vessel s technology and mining. At this, we attain highest fatigue strength. Our customers estimate the reliability of our employees and the quality of our work. In key questions you are welcome to rely on our technical knowledge. 5-axis machining Internal gears Tooth Profile Grinding Herringbone pinion toothed by 5-axis milling Internal gears Helical and Double Helical Gears Highly loaded pinion gear for tunneling machines Spur wheel for locomotive drive We produce pinion gears, pinion shafts, wheels, internal geared wheels and lots of special parts of spur gear or helical gear type, with internal and/or external gears, with milled, shaped, planed or ground gears. Dimensions in a diameter range of up to 3000 mm and shaft lengths of up to 3000 mm are feasible. Already some years ago customer-specific quality requirements in gear and surface quality have induced us to produce on latest tooth flank grinding machines of the leading machine tool manufacturers. The reproduction of necessary profile requirements such as depth crowning, tip and/or root relief as well as root radius, etc. guarantees smooth running adapted to the special application, which may give you the decisive competitive edge e.g. regarding increasing requirements for reduced noise emission.

CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC Worm gear-milling Worm-grinding Worm-Testing WORM GEAR PRODUCTION We produce worm gear sets according to customer designs of high variability with all common standard profiles. By the new CAVEX GmbH & Co. KG with the CAVEX wheel set program we offer a range of worm gears which has proven successful for decades. Due to its power density and the long service life CAVEX wheel sets are always the first choice of experienced engineers for demanding machines and plant designs such as Packaging machines Food processing machines Rolling mills (scissors, winders, roller tables) Mixers and agitators Shipbuilding In machine tools with increasing requirements in accuracy and stiffness have prevailed in lots of applications of the DUPLEX wheel sets. In this wheel set the worm is realized with a variable pitch and thus allows a wheel set with a clearance free setting. In this way, the conditions for highly precise production are given. The tooth profile of the CAVEX wheel sets is decisive for the long service life and the high strength of the wheel sets. Due to the hollow flank profile it is possible to fully use the material properties of the high quality bronze of the wheel and the casedhardened worm, since the contact stresses are considerably reduced and the lubrication of the gear is considerably improved in all operating conditions. A particularly high root width of teeth is achieved due to the hollow flank profile. Therefore, the wheel sets are extremely resistant to high impact load at little speed. CAVEX wheel sets are designed for highest loads. We optimise the profile of the gear using latest calculation tools. As the reliability of the CAVEX wheel sets is of great importance even under rough operating conditions. Each wheel set is entirely quality proofed. After geometrical testing of worm and wheel the contact pattern is checked. We deliver drive technology for: Raw material production and power generation Mining technology Marine technology Rolling stock Construction machines The range of products of CAVEX toothed wheels includes: Centre distance 40-1400 mm Gearing from 1 to 180 Module from 1 to 40 Number of worm starts from 1 to 12 Increased accuracy Reduced backlash Finished dimensions according to customer requirements Special models CAVEX profile Comparison of standard and hollow flank profile CAVEX Conventional worm drive
