Machine Comparison
Liebherr LC 180 vs Liebherr LC 300
Liebherr vs Liebherr · CNC Gear Cutting
Summary
The Liebherr LC 180 and the Liebherr LC 300 are gear hobbing machines from the same maker, in two sizes. The Liebherr LC 180 is described for smaller gears and pinion shafts, with a high-speed direct-drive head for fine pitches. The Liebherr LC 300 is described for larger diameters, longer pinion shafts and coarser pitches, with ringloader-fed production.
Few comparable figures are published for this pair, and the spec table has no rows, so no numbers are set side by side here. Each machine's own page carries its diameter, module and axial travel limits.

Advantages
Liebherr LC 180
- High-speed direct-drive head for fine-pitch gears
- Sized for smaller gears and shorter pinion shafts
Liebherr LC 300
- Takes larger-diameter gears and longer pinion shafts
- Cuts coarser pitches
- Described for ringloader-fed production
Verdict
Choose by part size and pitch. The Liebherr LC 180 fits small gears and shorter pinion shafts, and its direct-drive head suits fine pitches cut at high speed. The Liebherr LC 300 fits larger diameters, long pinion shafts and coarse pitches, and it is described for ringloader-fed production. With no rows in the table for this pair, take the diameter, module and axial travel limits from each machine's own page.
