There are many key performance gains when retrofitting a gear-cutting machine originating from the 1960s and 1970s. First, it can be noted that the new retrofitted CNC machine performs the same machining operations as the conventional mechanical machine, but - quite clearly - with an exponentially higher output. This is thanks to a reduction in set-up and production time and with a significantly higher quality of the finished gear. 

Bharat Gears Ltd., one of India’s largest gear manufacturers, has successfully retrofitted a Reishauer RZ361A gear grinding machine with an advanced NUM Flexium+68 CNC system.

Machine Tool Builders Inc. (MTB) has added a high-speed, high-precision Chamfering and Deburring Machine to its family of new gear production machines.
