OERLIKON Bevel Gear Lapping Machine

Highly efficient lapping of spiral-bevel and hypoid gear sets

The bevel gear lapping machine is designed to allow all operational tasks, loading, unloading, and lapping compound replacement to be carried out from the front of the machine. This opens up completely new ways of setting up the machine shop. In addition to the machine design itself, which primarily minimizes the active space requirements, special emphasis was placed on optimizing the passive footprint so that the individual machines can be arranged closer together, therefore reducing unproductive areas and distances for the operating personnel.


  • CNC-machine for highly efficient lapping of spiral bevel gear and hypoid gear sets
  • Ring gear diameters up to 500 mm (600 mm optional)
  • Shaft angle 90° (79° - 101° optional)
  • Mechanical-pneumatic clamping system with clamping stroke monitoring > no hydraulics
  • Suitable for automatic loading
  • Operator-friendly, easy-to-service lapping-compound unit
  • Automatic temperature compensation (Y and Z axis)
  • Highly flexible parameterization of the lapping process
  • Reduced-load acceleration to lapping rotation speed
  • Can also be used as a roll tester
  • Energy efficient (e2)
