LGG 400 M

Liebherr also offers a manual generating and profile grinding machine for small batch sizes and outstanding flexibility.

  • Generating grinding max. workpiece diameter (mm): 280
  • Profile grinding max. workpiece diameter (mm): 400

External and internal grinding heads

The LGG machines are perfect for generating grinding and profile grinding. As standard, the machines are equipped with an external grinding head and can be supplemented with an internal grinding head.

In both external grinding heads, the balancing systems are integrated in the spindle. High drive power and speeds offer big advantages for example, when using new grinding material. Simple and fast replacement of the grinding arbor is made possible by the use of modern tool holding. For collision-critical workpieces and for special tooth corrections, small grinding tool diameters are available.

Technology

Prepared for the future

Type of gears

  • Asymmetric profile
  • Beveloid gears
  • Double helical gears
  • Cycloidal gears

Gear modification

  • Profile and lead modification
  • Free flank form

Cycloidal gears

For cycloidal drives, certain requirements must be met, such as dimensional precision, a high-quality surface, an excellent profile and pitch as well as rollers that fit perfectly to the inner ring. Liebherr has developed something new for cycloidal gears: Now, cam disks with an external gear can be produced via generating grinding using not only single but also perfectly adapted double clamping. Depending on the individual batch-size requirements, which means that besides conventional profile grinding, an additional grinding method for cam disks is now available to users.

Generating grinding asymmetric gears

Asymmetric gears compensate for unequally distributed loads.

The advantages of asymmetric gears are obvious:

  • Reduced tooth root clamping forces and Hertzian flank stresses
  • Improved specific sliding
  • Increased surface durability and tooth root strength
  • Increased power density (load capacity in relation to gear size)
  • Longer service life
  • Increased efficiency
  • Reduced noise and vibration excitation
  • Increased operational reliability

Topological modifications

  • TF twist-free grinding
  • DFT deviation-free topological grinding
  • GER generated triangle-shaped end relief

Modifications for noise reduction

  • SSG noise-reduction shift strategy
  • NEO noise excitation-optimized modifications

Finishing grinding or polishing

Why modified and/or super-finished leads?

Motivation:

  • Improved wear behavior
  • Reduction of friction losses
  • Increased flank and tooth root strength
  • Increased efficiency
  • Longer service life (gear and gearbox)

Our solution: Finish grinding or polishing

Lower surface roughness can be achieved with finish grinding or polishing. This increases the power density and gear efficiency.

Generating or profile grinding with dressing-free CBN

CBN generating grinding

  • Short machining times (two-cut strategy)
  • No dressing required
  • Very low risk of grinding burn (short contact time, good thermal conductivity of CBN and steel basic body)
  • Universal tool design
  • Very long tool life
  • Robust process with high process stability
  • Module range 1.0 - 5.0mm
  • External gears with a high toothed length
  • Large batches, perfect for three-shift operation

CBN profile grinding

  • Very high profile quality
  • Pressure angle can be corrected by CNC (A, V and X axes)
  • Long tool life
  • Grinding of non-generating profiles and complex geometries
  • Module range 1.0 - 8.0mm
  • External and internal gears
  • Collision-critical gears (discs Ø < 30mm)
  • Small and medium-sized batches

Easy to operate

The new optimized control panel LHStation & LHMobile

With the control panel, Liebherr intelligently divides the programming and operation of the machine between two system parts: The large, fixed monitor unit LHStation for data input and process monitoring and the standardized, mobile handheld terminal LHMobile with context-sensitive user guidance during setup. Both units have a multi-touch surface as well as tactile elements for optimum operating speed and operating safety.
