80PS - Power Skiving, Hobbing, and Profile Milling of Robotic Gears
As humanoid robotics continues to advance, the demand for compact, high-precision gearbox components is growing rapidly. Gleason’s new 80PS Power Skiving Machine is designed to meet these requirements with a highly flexible solution for the production of small internal and external gears.
With power skiving, hobbing, and profile milling available on one single platform, the 80PS is ideally suited for gears used in strain wave, planetary, and cycloidal gearboxes — key drive components in humanoid robots and other precision motion applications. With capacity for external gear workpieces up to 80 mm in diameter and internal gear tip diameters up to 120 mm, the machine is optimized for small, demanding components where accuracy and process reliability are essential.
A major advantage of the 80PS is its process versatility. The machine can be converted for hobbing in less than two minutes, enabling manufacturers to apply the most efficient and economical process for each application. This flexibility makes the 80PS especially valuable for companies producing a variety of precision gears in small to medium component sizes. In case larger lot sizes are in demand the 80PS is available with integrated loading and workpiece storage solutions and also easily integrated in existing automated workflows.
The 80PS is also designed for challenging gear geometries, including thin-walled and delicate parts with internal and external gearing. By maintaining tight tolerances for distortion and dimensional deviation, the machine supports the production of high-quality gears for precise movement, reliable actuation, and long gearbox service life.
With the 80PS, Gleason offers more than a machine: customers benefit from a complete manufacturing system including adapted workholding and high-precision carbide tools for hobbing and power skiving. This integrated approach helps manufacturers achieve consistent quality and productivity in one of today’s fastest-growing technology fields.
