Hans Liebherr wanted to buy a gear hobbing machine for gear manufacturing, but could not find what he wanted – so he simply built it himself. It’s a typical Liebherr story, since many sectors in the company group have emerged in this or in a similar way.

“The fire pump is the heart of every fire truck”, explains Michael Schöftner, Head of Mechanical Production at Rosenbauer International AG, the global leader for fire service equipment. The equipment has to withstand enormous loads in cases of operation. Rosenbauer relies on an automation solution for pump manufacturing from Liebherr. The rotary loading system RLS 800 from the Kempten-based automation experts has been deployed in Leonding near Linz for around two years now.
E-cars are very demanding in terms of gear quality. Great Taiwan Gear relies on Liebherr machines.
After an upgrade, the universal LC 280 DC gear hobbing machine shines with improved operating comfort and technical refinements.
Due to the high demand, the automation division of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH has restructured the area of robotics and made it a separate department. The editors of Liebherr Magazine went to visit and had a look around.
