Small batch sizes and a wide range of gear types: Terhaerst Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Neunkirchen near Nuremberg has invested in an LC 700 M gear hobbing machine from Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH. The new machine replaces several older units and allows the company to manufacture a broad spectrum of workpieces with significantly shorter processing times.
Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH continues to advance waviness analysis in gear metrology, with a focus on powerful evaluation capabilities and ease of use.
Gear cutting machines generate vast amounts of valuable data, which can provide users with a key to better process understanding, higher quality and targeted optimization. In practice, however, these potentials often remain untapped: Data is scattered, difficult to access and often not linked in a meaningful way. The Liebherr Data Suite combines a range of integrated software tools into a comprehensive system designed for targeted data usage.
The Tech Center and the Machine Training Center (MTC) of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH have moved to new premises near the main plant in Kempten. The new site brings automation development and testing together with gear technology training under one roof, creating close links between automation, gear technology and production.
LGP 2000 boosts productivity and process reliability
As part of the latest machine platform for large gears, the LGP 2000 enables profile grinding across a broad range of applications – from single components to series production. An additional grinding spindle and a double dresser for simultaneous dressing can almost halve machining times.
Arcade attraction as an interdisciplinary training project
Liebherr’s special take on the grabber machine
At Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH, apprentices from multiple disciplines jointly designed and built an interactive exhibit for events and training fairs – based on a classic arcade grabber machine.
Consistently recording, storing and analyzing machine data
Liebherr Data Suite: Using data holistically
Gear cutting machines generate vast amounts of valuable data, which can provide users with a key to better process understanding, higher quality and targeted optimization. In practice, however, these potentials often remain untapped: Data is scattered, difficult to access and often not linked in a meaningful way. The Liebherr Data Suite combines a range of integrated software tools into a comprehensive system designed for targeted data usage.
More than just a technology supplier: Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH
Development partner for robotic drives
The robotics market is developing rapidly – but it is currently difficult to predict with any certainty exactly where it is heading. Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH has gained expertise and experience from numerous completed projects involving various robotic drive systems. Dr Oliver Winkel, Head of Application Engineering, speaks with product managers Martin Schwarzmann and Laurenz Müller about what makes the company a strong development partner for the robotics industry.
Efficient solutions for sustainable battery recycling and the circular economy
LHDismantle: Automated disassembly of high-voltage batteries
Electric mobility is on the rise – and with it, the need for efficient solutions for the recycling and reprocessing of high-voltage batteries. Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH has developed LHDismantle, an industrial-grade system for the automated disassembly of high-voltage batteries. Based on this foundation, the company offers solutions ranging from automated unscrewing processes to modular and scalable turnkey systems for disassembly and unloading.
Advancements in waviness analysis
Comprehensive evaluation options, intuitively visualized
Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH continues to advance waviness analysis in gear metrology, with a focus on powerful evaluation capabilities and ease of use.
Pallet handling for heavy parts in small batch sizes increases productivity at Köppern
Groundbreaking automation in make-to-order production
Manufacturing of extremely heavy individual parts in small batch sizes is beyond the limits of traditional automation. Hattingen-based company Köppern, which specializes in high-pressure roller presses, restructured its production process to include two Liebherr pallet handling systems, shortened processing times, and significantly increased machine utilization.
SkiveFinishing® for industrial applications
Where quality meets productivity
With SkiveFinishing®, Liebherr has developed a process that sets new standards in the hard finishing of internal gears. Following successful proof of technological feasibility, the focus is now firmly on industrial deployment. The aim is to develop a robust, cost-efficient manufacturing process that combines the highest quality standards with maximum productivity.
