New Software Features for Generating Grinding
1. DIP Flexible, fast and reproducible.
Profile modifications in generating grinding without additional dressing tools
In practice, profile modifications often require additional dressing tools – with corresponding costs, delivery times and limited flexibility. With DIP (Dresser Independent Profile Modifications), Liebherr enables, for the first time, the targeted adjustment of profile modifications during generating grinding without using additional tools.
The modification is implemented by software directly via the machine control system, combining high flexibility with short dressing times. Profile angle modifications, profile crowning, as well as tip and root reliefs can be set reproducibly and integrated efficiently into the process. At the same time, conventional profile dressers can still be used, ensuring stable and economical processes.
DIP closes the gap between flexibility and process-reliable series production.
Highlights
- Profile modification via software instead of additional dressing tools
- High flexibility combined with short dressing times
- Reproducible results through stable process control – Use of conventional profile dressers – proven series production process
- Production-oriented parameters for direct transfer to production
- Reduced tool costs and lower procurement effort
- Ideal for frequently changing requirements
2. Stock and Material Removal Inspection (AAP) – Process reliability directly in the machine
Reliably checking and evaluating stock allowance and removal
The inspection of stock allowance and material removal is decisive for stable grinding processes and minimal scrap rates. With AAP (Stock and Material Removal Inspection), Liebherr integrates the measurement directly into the machining process.
The stock allowance is measured before generating, profile or internal grinding; the removal is evaluated after machining – automatically and reproducibly. The results are immediately compared with the tolerances and enable a clear assessment of the workpiece.
In the event of deviations, targeted regrinding can be performed, thereby securing quality and optimizing processes. In addition, the automatic creation of inspection reports ensures transparency and traceability in production.
Highlights
- Measurement of stock allowance and material removal before and after grinding
- Automatic tolerance evaluation in the machine
- Reduction of scrap through targeted regrinding
- Flexible measurement strategies for different components
- Transparency through automatic inspection reports
- Integration into the existing grinding process
3. Beveloid Generating Grinding – New Software for LHGearTec
Efficient and precise machining of conical involute gears
Beveloid gears enable compact gearbox solutions with flexible shaft arrangements, but they place high demands on manufacturing. With the generating grinding of Beveloid gears, Liebherr expands the established grinding process to include the machining of conical geometries.
Different cone angles of a Beveloid gear can be set. Thanks to internal calculations, these settings are kept constant and process-reliable via the dressing cycles.
This creates new opportunities for innovative gearbox designs while maintaining high process stability and efficiency.
Highlights
- Input concept integrated into the LHGearTec user interface
- Software-based implementation without additional hardware
- Integration into existing generating grinding processes
- New degrees of freedom for innovative gearbox concepts
4. Position-Dependent Generating Grinding – Maximum precision through comparative measurement
The exact positional relationship between several gears is essential for the function and quality of modern gearboxes. With position-dependent generating grinding based on comparative measurement, Liebherr aligns machining specifically to a reference gear.Both gears are measured directly in the machine, the common tooth gap is determined and the positional deviation is automatically taken into account.
Machining is then performed position-dependently and reproducibly, reducing setup effort and increasing process reliability.
Highlights
- Machining relative to a reference gear
- Comparative measurement of two gears in the machine
- Automatic position correction based on measurement data
- Inductive or tactile measurement possible
- Higher process reliability through tolerance checking
5. Asymmetric Generating Grinding – Maximum freedom in profile design
Efficient and reliable implementation of custom profile geometries
Asymmetric profile geometries are becoming increasingly important for performance-optimized gearboxes. At the same time, requirements for flexibility and process reliability in production are rising. With generating grinding of asymmetric profiles (dressable), Liebherr enables the economical machining of complex profile shapes within the established grinding process. Different profile angles for the left and right flank can be implemented flexibly. The combination of dressable tools and optimized process control ensures uniform material removal and high component quality. At the same time, operation remains intuitive and safe thanks to integration into the existing software.
Highlights
- Generating grinding of asymmetric profiles with variable profile angles
- Generating grinding and polishing possible
- Flexible dressing strategies for maximum adaptability
- Uniform material removal on both flanks
- Integration into the existing machine and software environment
Double-Helical Gears – New Software for Hobbing, Form Milling and Gear Shaping
Double-helical gears stand for maximum power density, smooth running and the greatest possible load capacity. Due to the symmetrical arrangement of two opposing helical gears, axial forces are fully compensated – a decisive advantage for highly stressed gearbox applications.
However, precisely this complex geometry places the highest demands on manufacturing technology. Conventional machining processes are increasingly reaching their limits. In addition, collisioncritical tool movements, restricted accessibility and increasing requirements for surface quality and gear accuracy lead to a complex interaction between component design, machine and process.
Gear hobbing/profile milling of double-helical gears
The gears can be manufactured with the same tools or with different tools. If these cannot be clamped on one arbor, a tool change between the machining of the two gears is possible.
Highlights
- Rotational and axial position corrections
- Define the position via the apex point
- Check double-helical gearing for collision between tool and gear contour without step milling
- Shift in the event of a collision where shift positions are possible
Gear shaping of double-helical gears
The developed solution for gear shaping enables position-dependent machining of two non-prefabricated external or internal spur gears in one clamping setup.
- Work with different tools
- Perform a tool change if required
- Ensure process reliability through reference and comparative measurements with a measuring probe
- Rotational and axial position corrections
- Calculate the minimum plunge depth for reference and comparative measurement
- Check the possibility of two-flank machining after correction

Digitization
LHProcessMonitoring – Detecting Process Deviations Early
Inline process monitoring with high-frequency sensor technology
Unwanted noises in the drivetrain often originate in the manufac-turing process. Particularly in e-mobility, even the smallest devia-tions on the gear surface directly affect later NVH behavior. Classic inspection methods often detect these deviations only at the end of the process chain – with correspondingly high effort for rework or scrap.
With LHProcessMonitoring, Liebherr specifically expands inline process monitoring with powerful high-frequency sensor technology. This allows even the smallest deviations to be detected directly during machining – long before they affect component quality or noise emissions.
By connecting external acceleration sensors, the analyzable frequency range is significantly expanded. Vibrations up to 13 kHz can be recorded and precisely evaluated. The sensors are installed at critical positions in the machine, allowing high-frequency signals to be captured in a targeted manner and interpreted meaningfully.
Continuous analysis of process data enables immediate detection of abnormalities. Deviations become visible directly during the running process and can be assessed immediately. This reduces scrap, prevents unnecessary rework and supports stable series production – particularly for NVH-critical applications.
LHProcessMonitoring automatically monitors relevant process parameters and reliably detects limit violations. This ensures that faulty components are identified at an early stage and are not processed further.
In addition to grinding applications, the solution is now also used in hobbing and skiving. By expanding the system with high-frequency sensor technology, Liebherr creates a powerful basis for precise, data-based process monitoring and sustainable improvement of component quality.
Highlights:
- High-frequency sensor technology for detecting the smallest process deviations
- Inline monitoring directly during machining
- Recording of vibrations up to 13 kHz for detailed analysis
- Early detection of NVH-relevant quality deviations
- Reduction of scrap and rework
- Automatic limit monitoring and process evaluation
- Use across multiple technologies, such as grinding, hobbing, and skiving
Liebherr Data Suite – Using Data Holistically
Modern gear cutting machines generate enormous quantities of valuable data. This data offers great potential for a better understanding of processes, higher quality and targeted optimizations. In practice, however, this potential often remains unused: data is distributed, difficult to access and often not linked.
With the Liebherr Data Suite, Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH bundles coordinated software solutions into an integrated system for the structured and efficient use of machine data. The aim is to bring together all relevant information from process monitoring, measurement technology and control systems in a central data pool and evaluate it in a targeted manner.
The basis is a uniform container format in which all data – from process parameters and measured values to metadata – can be stored. With LHProcessRecorder, workpiece data is continuously recorded directly on the machine. Additional data sources, such as LHProcessMonitoring or LHFingerprint, can be seamlessly integrated.
The stored data is managed in a structured database and can be efficiently searched and analyzed. Versioning ensures that data remains usable and compatible over the long term. Visualization is performed via LHRecordViewer or a web app, enabling users to evaluate and interpret their data independently.
A particular focus is placed on data security and data sovereignty: by default, all information remains within the customer’s local network. At the same time, users themselves decide whether and to what extent data is used for further analyses or cloud applications.
The Liebherr Data Suite therefore creates the basis for end-to-end data use – from the machine level through to higher-level optimization of production processes.
Highlights:
- Central consolidation of all relevant machine data in an integrated system
- Uniform data format for process data, measurement data and metadata
- Continuous data acquisition directly on the machine with LHProcessRecorder
- Integration of additional data sources such as LHProcessMonitoring and LHFingerprint
- Efficient storage and analysis through a structured database
- Visualization and evaluation via web app and LHRecordViewer
- Full data sovereignty for the customer through local storage
- Optional data exchange with Liebherr to enable joint analyses
LHFingerprint – Capturing Machine Condition Transparently and Reproducibly
Easy entry into data-based condition analysis
Unplanned machine downtime causes high costs and makes reliable production planning more difficult. An objective assessment of machine condition also requires time, experience and reproducible data.
LHFingerprint creates the basis for detecting changes in machine behavior at an early stage, better avoiding unplanned downtime and preparing service assignments more effectively.
With LHFingerprint, Liebherr provides a tool for the automated recording of relevant machine and drive data. Data acquisition can be carried out by the customer. This creates a standardized data basis for assessing machine condition.
For further analyses, complex questions or the derivation of specific optimization measures, Liebherr After Sales experts are available to provide support at any time.
A guided workflow supports operating personnel during execution. The user guidance leads through the measurement process; integrated notes and warnings promote uniform execution and help reduce sources of error. This results in comparable measurement results with less manual effort.
The recorded data is visualized in LHRecordViewer and evaluated by Liebherr After Sales. The analysis supports technical condition assessment and can make changes visible compared with earlier measurements or the delivery condition.
This can reduce diagnostic effort and allow service assignments to be prepared more specifically. Regular fingerprints create transparency regarding the development of machine condition. Changes can be documented traceably and technical causes can be narrowed down in a targeted manner.
This supports predictive maintenance, well-founded service decisions and higher system availability. As part of the Liebherr Data Suite, LHFingerprint integrates into existing digital service processes and forms the basis for data-based maintenance and digital services throughout the entire machine lifecycle.
