Machine Comparison
Gleason P 90 WM vs Gleason P600G
Gleason vs Gleason · CNC Gear Cutting
Summary
The Gleason P 90 WM and the Gleason P600G are both Gleason gear machines, but they serve very different gears. Gleason publishes few comparable figures for this pair, so the table holds only two rows: the control and the machine weight.
The Gleason P 90 WM is the smaller machine at 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) and runs a Siemens 840D sl with Gleason gear software; it is meant for small internal gears and compact external spur and helical gears. The Gleason P600G weighs 11,000 kg (24,250 lb), runs a Siemens Sinumerik 840C/D, and is meant for large internal and external gears, coarse pitches, wide gears and special tooth forms ground by single indexing.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Gleason P 90 WM | Gleason P600G |
|---|---|---|
| Control | Siemens 840D sl with Gleason gear software | Siemens Sinumerik 840C/D |
| Machine Weight | 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) | 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) |
Advantages
Gleason P 90 WM
- Lighter machine at 6,000 kg (13,228 lb) against 11,000 kg (24,250 lb)
- Siemens 840D sl control with Gleason gear software
- Suited to small internal gears, with automatic tool measurement for frequent cutter regrinds
Gleason P600G
- Takes far larger internal and external gears, including wide ones
- Covers coarse-pitch gears
- Grinds arbitrary profiles and special tooth forms by single indexing
Verdict
The table supports only a weight and control comparison, so choose by the gear. The Gleason P 90 WM, at 6,000 kg (13,228 lb), is the machine for small internal gears and compact external spur and helical gears. The Gleason P600G, at 11,000 kg (24,250 lb), is the machine for large, wide or coarse-pitch gears and special profiles ground in small batches or as one-offs. The two do not cover the same parts.
