Gleason will introduce a host of advanced new machines, tooling, and global customer support services at IMTS 2010, covering a wide array of processes for the complete production and inspection of all types of bevel and cylindrical gears. Visitors to Gleason Booth #N-7000 will be introduced to a number of new products and technologies, such as the Agilus® 180TH combined process machine which performs many procedures in a single setup. The Agilus 180TH features a universal and highly productive multifunctional concept capable of machining shaft and disk-shaped gears in a single setup. The tool turret for locating fixed or driven tools allows turning, drilling, and milling operations as well as hobbing and subsequent generating chamfering and deburring to be performed in the same setting. The CNC-controlled tailstock enables the machine to clamp a broad range of workpieces with support on both sides to guarantee optimum rigidity during machining. Learn more at [www.gleason.com].
