New Gear cutting capabilities at Quaife
Electronic helical shaping now available at RT Quaife Engineering LTD
Hello there!,
We are pleased to announce that we have completed production of the first batches of Quaife gears using our new Liebherr LSE380 helical gear shaper, the only one of its kind in the UK.
Our new machine was direct from the Liebherr factory in Germany and was installed in late 2015. It was commissioned in early 2016 and after an intensive period of training to ensure our skilled staff are up-to-date on this state-of-the-art technology, we are now accepting RFQs for helical shaping work.
The LSE380 features include:
Electronic guide to reduce setup time and tooling costs
Internal and external helical shaping
Maximum diameter of 500mm
High volume capacity with auto loader
Multiple stacked heads allowing multiple gear cutting relative to each other without costly fixtures
Tilting head (in-cycle) up to 12 degrees for backed off gears
Live tool changing mid-cycle
Stroke up to maximum of 220mm
