Sometimes the more is the better: grinding machines for large gears
For manufacturers of wind turbines, Zahnradfertigung Ott GmbH & Co. KG is a high-requested supplier. The production of ring gears with diameters of 2500 mm and especially internal gears requires a high level of expertise, qualified employees and the right machines, such as the ZP I/E profile grinding machine from KAPP NILES.

E-gearbox for trucks … and E-sports-cars
FPT Industrial is known as a manufacturer of gearboxes for trucks and agricultural equipment. Since 2023, the drive train of an all-electric sports car has also been manufactured in Turin. The components are finish-ground on a KX 300 P gear grinding machine from KAPP NILES. The KNM 5 X measuring machine utilized to monitor and confirm part quality was also supplied by the Coburg-based group.

Electric truck: Polished gears in XXL
After cars, heavy commercial vehicles are now also becoming electric. The transformation of drive technology requires gears with larger diameters, larger modules and finer surfaces. It is exactly this challenge that users (parts manufacturers) and equipment suppliers (machine manufacturers) are facing equally.
