A manufacturer of large gearboxes produces a ring gear that must absorb high torques in a wind turbine and transmit them reliably over a long period of time. Components like these combine large diameters with high requirements for dimensional accuracy, gear geometry and surface quality. As workpiece size increases, so do the demands on rigidity, tool guidance and cutting performance. Even minor deviations can affect running behavior, load distribution and the service life of the entire gearbox.

The PVHDC is particularly well suited to this application because it can not only accommodate large workpieces, but also machine them precisely with high cutting performance. The machine is designed for large diameters and heavy-duty machining, creating the basis for manufacturing even demanding ring gears both cost-effectively and precisely. Especially for components used in wind energy, it is crucial to combine size and precision reliably.

The result is a machining process for large ring gears in which high cutting performance and high machining quality come together. For the customer, this means a solution for components where large workpiece dimensions, high load requirements and precise manufacturing are equally decisive.

A manufacturer of components for construction and commercial vehicles produces a slewing ring that later absorbs swiveling movements and safely transfers high forces into the assembly. Components like these often feature internal and external contours, hole patterns and additional functional surfaces that must be machined in precise relation to one another. This combination makes the application demanding, as it is not only a matter of removing material, but of reliably bringing together very different geometries on a large ring-shaped component.

This is where the PVHDC demonstrates its strengths, particularly in the machining of complex ring geometries. With suitable tool carriers and machining heads, internal and external machining as well as additional machining steps can be integrated into one continuous concept. This creates a process in which the different geometries of the component are precisely coordinated.

The result is a slewing ring in which internal and external contours as well as further functional features are brought together with high precision. For the customer, this means a manufacturing solution for large ring-shaped components where geometric variety, machining depth and process reliability are the main focus.
