Machine Comparison
Gleason Genesis 260GX vs Gleason P 400G
Gleason vs Gleason · CNC Gear Cutting
Summary
The Gleason Genesis 260GX and the Gleason P 400G are both Gleason gear grinding machines, built for different kinds of gear. Gleason publishes few comparable figures for this pair, so the spec table has no rows that both machines fill, and this page compares them by intended work only.
The Gleason Genesis 260GX is aimed at series grinding of smaller gears and gear shafts at fine-to-medium pitches, in cells loaded by conveyor or palletizer. The Gleason P 400G takes larger gear diameters and coarser modules, handles deep tooth forms, and can run a small grinding wheel at high speed where the part calls for one.

Advantages
Gleason Genesis 260GX
- Suited to series grinding of smaller gears at fine-to-medium pitches
- Listed for gear shafts as well as gears
- Fits cells loaded by conveyor or palletizer
Gleason P 400G
- Takes larger gear diameters than the Gleason Genesis 260GX
- Covers coarser pitches, up to a larger module
- Handles deep tooth forms and can run a small wheel at high speed
Verdict
With no shared figures in the table, choose by the gear. The Gleason Genesis 260GX fits a production line that grinds smaller gears and gear shafts at fine-to-medium pitches in series, especially where parts arrive by conveyor or palletizer. The Gleason P 400G fits a shop whose gears are larger in diameter, coarser in pitch or deeper in tooth form. Each machine's own page carries its verified figures.
