Year of construction: 2020, condition: as good as new (ex-display), functionality: fully functional, machine/vehicle number: 4760025, MACHINE DESCRIPTION Special drive concept Multi-axis Profiroll CNC/AC control Two-slide design Graphical user interface Process visualization Data management Operator guidance Integrated workpiece handling The PRI 120 CNC/AC is a newly developed internal gear back-rolling machine for rolling back angles onto the tooth flanks of existing internal gears. The innovative machine concept is based on over 60 years of experience in the development and manufacture of thread, profile, and gear rolling machines in Bad Düben. The machine’s base frame is a ribbed, torsionally rigid machine bed made of cast iron, which minimizes vibrations. Hedpfeznkz Sjx Airjnt In particular, the use of state-of-the-art proportional valve technology in conjunction with the PROFIROLL CNC control enables optimal process control of the rolling process. The control system, in combination with the backlash-free roller guide system, guarantees the highest precision and repeatability in the positioning of the rolling slide and, thus, of the tool. The innovative handling system, in conjunction with the rolling process, allows for the shortest cycle times. TECHNICAL DATA / PARAMETERS Workpiece diameter min./max.
