Kellenberger Expands Technology Portfolio to Include Turning and Milling
Kellenberger is consistently pursuing its growth strategy and expanding its technological foundation. Under the slogan “One name, one brand, endless possibilities,” the well-established brands Voumard, Hauser, and Tschudin will now operate under the brand Kellenberger. In addition, a new machine series will be introduced, expanding the company’s core grinding technology to include turning and milling. The first machine developed under this new direction, the KELLENBERGER TM300, will make its debut at EMO.
New CEO Carsten Liske describes the company’s global strategy: “In the future, we aim to offer Kellenberger customers not only innovative grinding solutions, but also well-thought-out machine concepts in the fields of turning and milling – the kind of solutions Kellenberger has been known for over decades. With the KELLENBERGER TM300, we’ve developed a multifunctional machine for complex machining tasks that demand the highest precision and maximum flexibility. The TM300 complements our successful high-precision SP series machines.”
Kellenberger’s service commitment applies across all series and technologies. From predictive maintenance and outstanding after-sales support to comprehensive spare parts availability via the company’s service platform, Kellenberger offers a wide range of services.
The 5-axis turning-milling center KELLENBERGER TM300 will make its debut at EMO
The KELLENBERGER TM300 is a state-of-the-art 5-axis turning-milling center.
Equipped with a Siemens “Sinumerik One” control system, the machine is ideally suited for demanding applications in precision engineering, aerospace, medical technology, and general mechanical engineering. The main and counter spindles offer high performance with 3,500 rpm and 600 Nm of torque, while the milling spindle delivers 12,000 rpm and 100 Nm of torque. The direct-drive B-axis offers an extended swivel range of 240°, and the orthogonal Y-axis with 300 mm travel provides a large machining area. User-friendliness is significantly enhanced by the integration of a digital twin.
The TM300 is optionally available with a lower turret, enabling complete machining of complex workpieces in a single setup. For the machining of long shaft components, a hydraulic steady rest is available.
Kellenberger is also presenting new solutions in its core grinding segment at EMO.
The highly successful KELLENBERGER K100 is now available in a version with an extended machine bed for workpieces up to 1,700 mm in length and a workpiece weight of up to 200 kg, with center height up to 250 mm. This K100 version can also be configured with up to 10 compact grinding head variants to optimally tailor the machine to the parts being processed. The diagonal grinding head arrangement is complemented by a collision-free universal design with a 500 mm grinding wheel diameter.
Lke all Kellenberger grinding machines, the K100 for workpieces up to 1,700 mm in length is equipped with the latest BLUE Solution software, which features the newly developed gSHAPE tool. This part-oriented graphical programming interface enables visual and intuitive creation of machining programs.
The proven KELLENBERGER K100 platform concept is now available with a grinding length of 1700 mm.
In the field of coordinate grinding, Kellenberger is presenting its new WHITE Solution software on the KELLENBERGER H2000 at EMO. WHITE Solution is an innovative CAD/CAM solution developed in collaboration with renowned software specialist OpenMind and based on HyperMill. This solution enables even more efficient and precise machining while improving workflow integration.
From the internal grinding segment, Kellenberger will showcase the high-end universal cylindrical grinding machine VM1000, as wellas the VM30, which is specifically designed for smaller workpieces and equipped with Rex automation.
