Helios Gear Products will be featuring gear manufacturing solutions, including the Hera 90 CNC gear hobbing machine, the M673 CNC gear shaping machine and the MSR rotary magazine, with automatic loading at IMTS.
Hera CNC gear hobbing machines support micro- to coarse-pitch gear manufacturing applications with advanced technical features such as complete FANUC CNC and direct-drive torque motors, digital scales, easy-to-use (and train) dialog programming and versatile unified automation systems.
Of the eight sizes of Hera machines available, Helios will demonstrate the Hera 90's ability to produce high-quality spur gears, helical gears, straight bevel gears, worms, worm gears and other hobbed profiles with a maximum pitch rating of 8.5 DP.
In addition to the Hera 90, Helios will also feature the high-speed shaping capabilities of the M673. "With shaping speeds of up to 2,000 strokes per minute, capability to accommodate versatile shaper cutter types (disc, bell and shank) and flexible automation system options, manufacturers can elevate their precision shaping capabilities to a new level," said a company spokesperson.
Advancing gear manufacturing productivity even further is the new MSR. This rotary magazine with automatic loading offers comprehensive, versatile automation by integrating manufacturing cells with operations such as gear generation, washing, deburring and laser marking. The MSR features stackable workpiece towers that offer more capacity than rotary conveyors and is offered with a variety of robotic loading options to feed up to four machine tools at a time for fully optimized gear manufacturing operations.
