The PHOENIX® 600HC bevel gear cutting machine features a breakthrough monolithic column design that optimizes dry machining, significantly reduces floor space requirements and greatly improves cycle time. The 600HC also features direct-drive spindle motors, which further reduces setup and machining times by eliminating the need for mechanical adjustments and change gears. Higher acceleration/deceleration rates increase torque, combine with shorter, faster axis motions, reduce non-cutting time between cycles and increase overall productivity during machining.
