Gleason has introduced a new line of Titan® grinding machines designed to reduce finish grinding times by as much as 50 percent on cylindrical gears up to 1,500 mm in diameter. Titan machines are unique in their ability to offer users, on a single platform, both pure profile grinding for the greatest flexibility when producing single parts, and threaded wheel grinding and profile grinding working together for much faster fully automated large-scale production. This new process, called Power Grind, enables users to reduce grinding production times by first using threaded wheel grinding to “rough” gears much faster and then profile grinding to achieve optimal gear quality, surface finish and complex gear modifications in the finishing operation. Titan machines also greatly reduce the time required for the production of individual parts through pure profile grinding. A unique, patented dual-flank twist-free grinding option is available that can create highly desirable asymmetrical tooth trace modifications in half the time normally required when conventional single flank grinding is used.
