Gear Center Designed for Mass Production

Kapp Niles features the KX 100 Dynamic gear center designed for mass production of external planetary gears ranging to 125 mm. According to the company, its independent twin pick‐up work spindles provide optimum productivity, reducing tooling setup time. Work arbor change and verification is automated and grinding worm change is semi‐automated. The KX 100 will be exhibited as a turnkey solution with “basket stacker” automation and tooling. An integrated pallet conveyor offers a solution for space and cost savings. The Kapp Niles machines are complemented by measuring machines from Penta Gear Metrology, and the larger custom measuring machines from R&P Metrology.
