In Booth #4013 at the 2019 Motion + Power Technology Expo, Star SU will introduce the hobbing and shaping machine portfolio through the newly created company Samputensili CLC S.r.l. Star SU will interactively display the CLC 260 H and CLC 500 H – two high performance modular horizontal gear hobbing/milling machines, which can be customized for any type of gear, shaft, and worms up to a total length of 5,000mm.
The Star NXT linear CNC tool and cutter grinding machine sharpens straight and spiral gash hob designs up to 8” OD x 10” OAL. With a small footprint and maximized grind zone, the NXT also sharpens disk-, shank-, and helical-type shaper cutters, Scudding cutters, and a wide range of round tools.
The complete library of gear manufacturing machinery solutions will be available, including the Samputensili SG 160 SKYGRIND – the first gear dry grinding machine with a patented process. A ground-breaking concept eliminates the need for cutting oils during the grinding of gears after heat treatment, delivering a significant reduction in the cost of consumables and a considerable improvement of environmental impact.
