NILES ZE Line:
630, 800, 1000
Making big things happen.

The ZE line was designed to meet the demand for high-quality, low-noise gears as used in the turbo-machinery and wind-power industries. These machines are immediately operable as soon as they are delivered to a shop floor. Engineered with ergonomics in mind, all of the essential operator elements, including the workpiece, are accessible to the machine operator from the factory floor. All ZE machines come equipped with hydrostatic column guideways and oversized rotary tables. NILES ZE 630, 800 and 1000 machines are capable of utilizing dressable vitrified and non-dressable CBN wheels and provide a quick wheel-exchange system for the CBN wheels. Siemens 840D control and Siemens 611D Simo-Drives, come as standard equipment and optional special grinding spindles are available for smaller diameters or internal grinding. Please see www.niles.de for details on this and other NILES machines.

KAPP CX 120 Machine:
Breaking new ground.

Designated CX for coroning and KX for grinding, the CX/KX 120 machine is the only machine to utilize this brand new and innovative technology. KAPP engineers designed the CX/KX machine as a single platform system easily adjusted to accommodate the different hard-finishing gear processes of Coroning, Profile Grinding and Generating Grinding. The machine work spindle is oriented vertically for ease of automation. The machine automation system, footprint and system price are similar for either grinding or coroning thus simplifying production planning. These two processes can also be linked in series for optimum productivity when grinding gears that require higher stock removal. Due to eliminated processes normally needed to run mass production of automotive parts (shaving & burnishing), the total gear cost is controlled and at times significantly reduced.
