How can we ensure maximum manufacturing productivity? What is the best automation system for our wide variety of parts? Which partner can reliably put our plans and requirements into practice? These are the kinds of questions that every manufacturing company aiming to increase its productivity has to ask. Kordel Antriebstechnik GmbH, based in the Westphalian town of Dülmen, found the right solution for its gearbox production with a pallet handling system from Liebherr.

Gear skiving is over 100 years old and has recently been experiencing a renaissance as a flexible and economical alternative to other gear cutting methods. However, this complex process frequently presents great challenges to users. In addition to Skiving3, a “complete package” consisting of machine, tool and technology, Liebherr now also offers skiving tools for suppliers and contract gear manufacturers – and the appropriate consultation, if desired.

Liebherr in the United States is proud to celebrate five decades in North America and establish itself as a leading manufacturer. Liebherr has built its U.S. business on a foundation of trust, innovation and engagement with customers. Five decades later, Liebherr’s growth, diversity and stability are evidence of how the company is united by success with customers as they work on the challenges of tomorrow and focus on the future together.

Liebherr presents the latest member in the PHS Allround family, the PHS 800 Allround. It has a narrower design than the PHS 1500 Allround, which makes it ideal for automated loading of smaller machine tools while retaining the basic principle of modular design and universal applicability and expandability.

Close to production, with high cleanliness and air conditioning standards: The two new measuring rooms of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH at the Ettlingen site are used for quality control during the production of Liebherr gear cutting tools and for contract manufacturing.

What does the name LHOpenConnect stand for? How can an open data structure help the user? Which software services does Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH offer? Over the past few years, the company has gradually built up an application architecture that focuses not only on the machine, but on the entire process, which means it can support production in many different ways. Thanks to its modular structure, customers can select the tools which best complement their own specific production environment.

Clamping units for gears with short delivery times at low costs – due to the high level of individualization of clamping devices, these demands were often diffi cult to reconcile. That’s now a thing of the past. The segment clamping arbor SECLA from Liebherr is an innovative, inexpensive standard solution with short delivery times for a maximum application range in gear manufacturing machining.

Liebherr opened a new test hall for automation systems in Kempten. Prototype solutions are tested and the systems are “put to the test” here. This new facility allows the customers to experience the tests “live” and gives them the opportunity to conduct virtual tests themselves.
