Half a century of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH means 50 years of commitment to the machinery and plant engineering industry. Gear technology originated in the technology of the revolving tower crane. Hans Liebherr wanted to buy a gear hobbing machine for gear manufacturing, but could not find what he wanted – so he simply built it himself. It’s a typical Liebherr story, since many sectors in the company group have emerged in this or in a similar way. Taking things into one’s own hands: an attitude that can still be found at Liebherr today.
Bauer Gear Motor operates two new LC 180 gear hobbing machines at its facility in Slovakia, producing gearing for all facilities. These machines are characterised by their operational versatility, given that they are used to produce around 180 different components in a very wide range of different sizes.
“The fire pump is the heart of every fire truck”, explains Michael Schöftner, Head of Mechanical Production at Rosenbauer International AG, the global leader for fire service equipment. The equipment has to withstand enormous loads in cases of operation. Rosenbauer relies on an automation solution for pump manufacturing from Liebherr. The rotary loading system RLS 800 from the Kempten-based automation experts has been deployed in Leonding near Linz for around two years now.
PHS Pro: Born from experience
The first PHS 1500 Pro is at Herborner Pumpentechnik. Following an extension and machine change, the third expansion will start soon.
Combined for greater efficiency
Rotary loading systems and bin picking, a robot system also referred to as pick and place, are a permanent feature in the Liebherr automation division. Together, they form a good team in automating inputs and outputs from production lines.
REMAN: As good as new
Mit dem Gebrauchtmaschinenprogramm von Liebherr erhalten hochwertige Maschinen einen zweiten Lebenszyklus. Was tun, wenn die Maschine in die Jahre kommt, aber noch gute Dienste leistet?
For long shafts: LGG 400 M
Based on the proven LGG 280 generating grinding machine, Liebherr is presenting the larger LGG 400 M model at IMTS in Chicago.
Satisfied customers speak for themselves
E-cars are very demanding in terms of gear quality. Great Taiwan Gear relies on Liebherr machines.
"A chamfer for every gear"
Johannes Weixler has developed a new universal chamfering application – with the dynamic mathematical assistance of colleagues.
Top gear cutting tools, in-stock – with new material and coating
Simply order from the catalogue and two days later the new shaping tool will arrive: Liebherr makes the process as straightforward as this for customers and offers a broad range of stock tools available for immediate delivery. New: Instead of cutting material ASP2030 with a titanium nitride (TIN) coating, stock tools are now made as standard from ASP2052 with Alcrona Pro.
LHGearTec
When Peter Pruschek, Head of Electronic and Control System Development at Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH, presents the new LHGearTec control system, he first highlights the striking new features: “We are entering the market with a 24 inch touchscreen monitor – an above-average size for machine tools.
