Machine Comparison
Gleason Genesis 200GX vs Gleason P600G
Gleason vs Gleason · CNC Gear Cutting
Summary
The Gleason Genesis 200GX and the Gleason P600G are both Gleason gear grinders, but they serve different jobs. The Gleason Genesis 200GX is a production machine for high-volume grinding of small gears. The Gleason P600G grinds much larger internal and external gears, coarse pitches and special tooth forms by single indexing, in small batches and one-offs.
Gleason publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the table has one row, the control. The Gleason Genesis 200GX runs a Gleason CNC (Siemens-based), and the Gleason P600G runs a Siemens Sinumerik 840C/D. That row names no winner.

Advantages
Gleason Genesis 200GX
- Aimed at high-volume grinding, where chip-to-chip time is a large share of the cycle
- Listed for polished flanks from the same wheel as roughing, with closed-loop inspection feedback
Gleason P600G
- Grinds internal as well as external gears, in much larger diameters and widths
- Arbitrary profiles and special tooth forms ground by single indexing
- Suited to small batches and one-off gears in coarse pitches
Verdict
The job decides, not the one table row. For small gears ground in high volume, where chip-to-chip time and closed-loop inspection feedback matter, choose the Gleason Genesis 200GX. For large internal or external gears, coarse pitches, special tooth forms and small batches or one-offs, choose the Gleason P600G. Both run Siemens-based controls, so the control is not a reason to prefer either. Confirm diameter, module and table load with Gleason for the gears in question.
