Genesis™: Gleason's new family of gear production equipment, built on a common platform to optimize capabilities - and better serve the world of gearing. The Genesis™ 130TWG Threaded Wheel Grinder is a compact, highly productive new machine for the grinding of hardened spur and helical gears with an outside diameter as large as 130 mm. The Genesis 130TWG was designed as a totally new product incorporating the most modern features andcapabilities required by today's gear production. These include: • Single-piece, mineral cast polymer composite base/frame providing superior vibration damping and thermal stability. • New grinding head design with integrated balancing device for maximum grinding speeds and maximum productivity. • Innovative stock dividing system which saves time and requires no changeover time between different parts. • A highly efficient coolant system which can easily be relocated to meet any cell floor space requirement. • A high-speed loading system to reduce load/unload cycles to a minimum. • Direct-drive spindles for high reliability and wide speed and torque range. • Advanced SIEMENS controls of the latest generation of Gleason grinding technology software including automatic process data calculation. • Windows-based user-friendly software and PC front-end. • Two grinding wheel dressing systems: dressing with diamond-plated master dressing gears, and CNC conventional dressing system. • Common design with common parts shared by all the models in the Genesis family. • Small footprint: 7 square meters (73 sq. ft.) including all hydraulics, lubrication, and pneumatic systems (without coolant system). • Fully self-contained machine, easily moved as a single unit without disconnecting auxiliary support systems. • Easy Access Service Module to consolidate hydraulics, lubrication and pneumatics into one location.
