With the gear profile grinding machine KNe 3P, KAPP NILES offers an inexpensive entry into precision machining as a solution for the flexible production of small and medium lot sizes.

The KNe 3P has been optimised for manual ergonomic loading. Thanks to the low height of the machine bed and the short distance to the machine elements, all operations can be carried out without means. The integrated measuring device allows to measure and to evaluate gear qualities against specifications. The control system Sinumerik 840D sl is used on a 19” touch screen. The innovative, operator-friendly user interface KNgrind allows a machine-oriented and intuitive parameterisation of the machining task.
The profile grinding machine KNe 3P features a grinding spindle with high drive power for components up to module 10 mm. The directly driven rotary table is generously dimensioned for a table load of up to 350 kg. The dresser sits stationary against the tool axis and even allows the use of small grinding wheels of up to 65 mm. The working area can be used without any restriction at large helix angles. Alternatively, the swivel range of the machine allows the grinding of worms.

With the generating gear grinding machine KX 260 TWIN, KAPP NILES offers a high-productive solution to meet the requirements for highest productivity, quality and cost minimisation.

The KX 260 TWIN with a maximum tip diameter of 260 mm is particularly designed for medium and large batch production where quality levels are especially demanding. The machine includes two identical workpiece spindles arranged at opposing sides of an index table. While machining one part, the second workpiece spindle simultaneously unloads / loads and aligns another part. Thus, many of the auxiliary functions are carried out during the machining time, reducing the auxiliary processing time to a minimum.
The control system Sinumerik 840D sl is equipped with an operator-friendly menudriven user interface. The optional measuring device allows to measure and to evaluate gear qualities against specifications. The machine is optimised for automatic loading. As a standardised turnkey solution, a combination of pallet conveyer and gantry loader is provided according to the specific application. Alternative automation methods, such as pallet or robot systems, can also be utilised.

With KNM 2X, KAPP NILES Metrology offers an analytical gear inspection machine for highly precise measurements of smaller workpieces up to a maximum workpiece diameter of 300 mm.

The KNM 2X combines high-precision mechanics with cutting-edge drive and control technology. All guides and the base plate made of hard stone are long-term stable and have an identical low expansion coefficient. The air spring system under the base plate absorbs vibrations. Ironless linear motors and the torque motor of the rotary table stand for ultimate position and path accuracy.
The state-of-the-art KNM C5 controller determines the optimal drive parameters of every workpiece and clamping device for always ideal measuring dynamics. One highlight of the KNM 2X is the „Smart“ Tailstock which provides an extended work area by motor-driven lowering into the base plate. Another highlight is the „Smart“ Quick Change Clamping System which enables the changeover of workpiece holders, lower tips, or calibration balls within a few seconds to reach a significant reduction of set-up times. The extensive package of evaluation software can be accessed directly by touch screen.
