Compact manufacturing system for the machining of gears
The machining process for gears utilises EMAG machines of the VL platform, with four key operations being carried out sequentially. Turning the first side of the gear (OP 10) and turning the second side (OP 20) is done on a VL 2 turning machine each. A VLC 200 H then carries out the gear cutting process (OP 30) using a milling hob, with the concluding chamfering operation (OP 40) being carried out on a VLC 100 C. The use of two different control systems (Fanuc on the VL and Siemens on the VLC) in one manufacturing system exemplifies the possibilities offered by combing different machines.
