“SMART, DIN 2 “PLUS” GEAR GRINDER SETS NEW GLOBAL STANDARD FOR HIGHEST ACCURACY/ LOWEST COST GRINDING MACHINES”

Holroyd’s new Smart GTG2 grinding centre employs a unique (patent applied for) machining system to achieve DIN 2 levels of accuracy - and beyond - in the form grinding of high precision helical, spur and worm gears. Designed with high levels of onboard intelligence, the GTG2 is extremely easy to set-up and operate. It also benefits users with onboard CMM and an automatic, in cycle wheel dressing feature that enables closed loop profile control to be achieved.

“Our design aim was to produce the lowest cost, highest accuracy grinding machine for helical and worm gears in the world, and I am sure that we have succeeded,” says Dr Tony Bannan, Holroyd’s Engineering Director, who led the design and manufacturing team that produced the machine.  ”Although the GTG2 is designed to provide DIN 2 levels of accuracy, generally, it has exceeded this level under optimum operating conditions, producing its “best ground” performance with a tooth profile of DIN 1, considered by many to be pinnacle of grinding performance.”
