Automatic description (AI-Generated)

The OERLIKON C28 is a bevel gear generator designed for the production of spiral bevel gears. Manufactured in 1998, this machine is equipped with CNC control, specifically a Siemens 840C system, enabling precise automated operations. It is capable of processing gears with a maximum wheel diameter of 275 mm and a maximum gear width of 55 mm. The machine supports gear modules ranging from 1.5 to 6.5, accommodating a variety of gear sizes and specifications.

Weighing approximately 13,000 kg, the C28 is a substantial industrial machine built for robust performance. It offers two principal machining processes: a continuous process where both the workpiece and tool rotate simultaneously, allowing all gear teeth to be generated in one operation; and a single-item procedure where the workpiece remains stationary while the tool rotates to cut each tooth individually. The continuous process involves a knife head with several knife groups arranged in parallel, suitable for parallel and conical tooth surfaces. The single-item procedure uses a knife head with knives arranged in a circular path, enabling precise tooth cutting for conical tooth height and parallel tooth head surfaces.

The C28 can be configured to produce both wheels and pinions. However, to operate in the individual part procedure, the machine requires preparation including a direct measuring system, part gear brake, workpiece axis, and a license file for individual part production.

The machine is housed in a white body bearing the OERLIKON brand on the side panel. It features a control panel mounted on articulated arms, equipped with multiple buttons, a screen, and an emergency stop button. The control panel is connected via visible cabling extending to the floor. The machine is situated in an indoor industrial environment and shows some signs of wear and dirt but no major damage. A small metal step stool is positioned in front of the machine, and red and white striped safety tape is loosely placed nearby on the floor.

Documentation including technical drawings and specifications, presented in German and bound in a ring binder, accompanies the machine, providing detailed information for operation and maintenance.

Seller's description

Type of machine Bevel Gear Generator - Spiral
Company OERLIKON
Type C28
Year of manufacture 1998
Type of control CNC
Control name Siemens 840C

max. wheel diameter 275 mm
gear width 55 mm
max. module 6,5
min. module 1,5
weight 13000 kg
Face Milling-Single Part Process

Continuous process: The workpiece and tool (usually Spiron) rotate at the same time, and all teeth are created in one operation at the same time. Knife head has several knife groups (not arranged in a circle) Parallel tooth Conical tooth tip surface

Single Item procedure: The workpiece is stationary and the tool (usually Arcon) rotates and cuts a tooth by immersing the tool. Once a tooth is cut, the tool moves out of the tooth again, the workpiece divides by one tooth width and the next tooth is cut until all teeth are finished. Knife head has arranged all knives in a circular path. Conical tooth height Parallel tooth head surface

C28 can do both, wheel + pinion. However, a C28 must be “prepared” for the individual part procedure. I.e. direct measuring system + part gear brake, workpiece axis + license file for the production of individual parts.
