Gleason Corporation announces that they have started building their highly popular Genesis series of gear hobbing machines at their Gleason Works (India) facility in Bangalore. The Genesis models 130H and 210H hobbers are being built for the fast-growing Indian market using the same high-precision components as with Genesis machines built in other locations. The 210H machine accommodates gears up to 210mm in diameter, including those with shaft lengths up to 350mm. Features include Siemens 840D controls, integrated chamfering and deburring, and a high speed loading system to reduce load/unload cycles to a minimum. Gleason already builds the Genesis series of gear hobbing machines at facilities in the U.S., Germany, and China. The Genesis 260H and 400H, which was introduced at the EMO in September 2011, will also be built in India at a future date. Supporting the entire Genesis line of gear hobbers in India is an array of cutting tools, including high speed steel and carbide hobs, as well as an existing tool sharpening service. Gleason already has a presence in Bangalore for sales, service and cutting tool manufacturing, as well as sales and service offices in Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Coimbatore.
