20—GEAR Production Supplement P R O D U C T N E W S Cylindrical Grinder Reaches Tight Tolerances Erwin Junker Machinery Inc., Booth 1026 The Junker Group will display Zema's Numerika G-800 Smaller Shaping Head Increases Stroke Length Liebherr Gear Technology Inc., Booth 1809 Designed for its Platform 2 (LSE/LFS 200 to 500) and Platform 3 (LSE/LSF 600 to 1600) machines, Liebherr Gear Technology will display a smaller shaping head option that eases electronically-controlled machining of spur and helical gear teeth. The SKE 120 shaping head with dynamic rotary drive and movable head slide occupies less space at a stroke length of 120 mm, increasing stroke position travel range to 650 mm (Platform 2) and 350 mm (Platform 3). The optional NC swivel column slide, which produces conical gear teeth at a shaping spindle angle between -1 and +12 degrees, has been optimized to achieve greater rigidity. If NC swivel column slides are not used, the shaping spindle angle can be adjusted by as much as ±0.45 degrees using a cam.
