Upgrading of gear hobbing and gear shaping machines
It is not always necessary to invest in new gear cutting machines when production requirements change. The primary advantage of a comprehensive upgrade/modernisation is the lower investment volume compared to purchasing a new machine with almost identical performance parameters and equipment of the same quality. Through targeted optimisation of assemblies carried out by MHD Werkzeugmaschinen, speeds and feed rates can be achieved with upgraded, proven existing machines that are hardly inferior to the performance of machines from current production.

First, our experienced specialists check the actual condition of the customer’s machine. Based on this assessment, we plan, together with the customer, the exact scope and sequence of the upgrade and recommend any possible extensions, optimisations or additional equipment.

Gear hobbing and gear shaping machines after upgrading:

meet the requirements for use in digitalised large-scale production – Industry 4.0
offer a high level of operational convenience
can be run with accessories already in place
continue to produce reliably and with high manufacturing accuracy
comply with the current energy efficiency requirements

Ease of operation and short familiarisation times
Modernised gear cutting machines from MHD Werkzeugmaschinen also offer a high level of operational convenience. A newly developed, well-structured operating dialogue with data input via touchscreen enables intuitive machine operation and is tailored to suit modern requirements such as batch size variance and ease of setup. Experienced machine operators quickly find their way around the menu and can work reliably and safely with the gear cutting machines we have upgraded within a short period of time.

In addition to the most advanced control technology with digital drives and intuitive operator guidance, our electronics engineers also implement interfaces for data output in order to monitor the process and machine status, if desired.
We select solely energy-efficient devices as additional and auxiliary units and integrate them with demand-oriented controlling systems.
