HÖFLER CYLINDRICAL GEAR GRINDING MACHINE
CONVERTIBLE MACHINE FOR INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS
The VIPER 500 cylindrical gear grinding machine is designed for component diameters up to 500 mm and is optimally suited for small to medium-sized batches. To suit individual requirements, the machine is available in three different configurations: Profile grinding with small grinding wheels for custom jobs and multiplewheel technology (K), as well as generating grinding (W) or (KW). The VIPER 500 W / KW configuration allows both profile grinding and continuous generating grinding on the same machine – with minimal retooling time.

Leading Technology for a Fast,
Efficient Production Process
The VIPER 500 cylindrical gear grinding machine is designed for
component diameters up to 500 mm and is optimally suited for
small to medium-sized batches. To suit individual requirements,
the machine is available in three different configurations:profile
grinding, small grinding wheels for custom jobs and multiplewheel technology (K), as well as generating grinding (W) or (KW).
The VIPER 500 W / KW configuration allows both profile grinding and continuous generating grinding on the same machine
– with minimal retooling time. To change the grinding technology, just swap out the grinding wheel, the grinding wheel
flank, and the diamond dressing roll. On all variants, the optional internal gear grinding arm allows retooling from external to internal gearing.
Moreover, the special machine axis arrangement is a contributing factor in the machine’s tried-and-tested precision and consistent quality, as well as tremendous flexibility. The highly dynamic axes allow optimized 5-axis machining of an entire range
of modifications in the shortest possible grinding time. The innovative design also makes for easy cleaning and high performance capacity while achieving significant energy savings.
Moreover, the Gear Production software developed in-house
guarantees ease-of-use, even for complex applications. (See
page 10 for more information on the Gear Production software.)
