RZ 160 4.0

Technology: Gear grinding
Type: Automotive
Product description

The grinding machine capable of covering all types of gears installed in automotive transmissions.

The RZ 160 4.0 grinding machine sets the industry standard for automotive gear manufacturing with its productivity. Its grinding range, with a diameter of up to 160 mm and a module range of 0.5 to 4, covers all gears—whether disc or shaft parts—used in automotive transmissions.

Productivity and flexibility

In addition to its primary application in the mass production of gears for automotive transmissions, this machine is also suitable for flexible use, such as producing single prototype pieces or small batches. This versatility is demonstrated by the additional grinding head for profile grinding, CNC dressing, and the "on-machine measurement" option.

Maximum consistent performance

The design principle of the RZ 160 4.0 is based on dual-spindle technology, the constant parallelization of axis movements, short spindle reaction times, and high cutting speed.

With the rotary dressing axis, all dressing technologies developed by Reishauer can be utilized, including CNC dressing, multi-rib full-profile dressing rolls, and topological dressing.

The short setup times emphasize the machine's flexibility

In addition to disc parts, shaft parts can also be ground with the tailstock option. The fully equipped machine, standard by design, can be easily integrated into an existing production line due to its compact design. The operating philosophy is consistent with other machine types in Reishauer's 4.0 series, enabling operators of other Reishauer machines to be productive immediately.

Hundreds of RZ 160 machines, tirelessly generating profits for our customers worldwide, are the best proof of their performance.
