Gleason presents the Genesis 260GX threaded wheel grinder as the newest addition to the company’s Genesis machine series. The GX series features a two-spindle concept designed for maximum productivity with minimized idle and setup times. The 260GX features twist control and polish grinding for mirror-like surfaces on workpieces. The machine’s software-guided setup enables operators to change from one workpiece to another in 20 minutes using one tool. With the Gleason “First Part Cycle,” operators actuate a fully automatic workflow from setup to grinding of the first workpiece. The machine features the company’s integrated automation system and the ability to interface with Gleason GMS machines via QR code.
