Genesis 260GX Threaded Wheel Grinding Machine

The Gleason Genesis 260GX combines maximum productivity with minimized idle and setup times through its twin-spindle workholding concept. While one spindle is in the grinding cycle, the other spindle loads the next workpiece, virtually eliminating non-productive time in high-volume gear finishing operations.

Software-guided setup enables operators to change from one gear specification to another in approximately 20 minutes using a single tool, dramatically reducing changeover downtime compared to conventional gear grinding platforms. The integrated GRSL laser inspection system provides closed-loop quality feedback, automatically adjusting grinding parameters to maintain gear profile and lead accuracy across extended production runs.

The GX series targets high-productivity environments in automotive transmission manufacturing where cycle time, quality consistency, and uptime directly impact production economics. The machine handles cylindrical gears up to 260 mm diameter with threaded wheel grinding technology that produces superior surface finish and geometric accuracy compared to form grinding methods.
