How much does the Gleason Genesis 130H CNC Gear Hobbing Machine cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Gleason Corporation. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Gleason Genesis 130H is a CNC gear hobbing machine for small gears: the listed figures give a maximum workpiece diameter of 130 mm (5.1 in), a maximum module of 4 mm and a face width of up to 130 mm (5.1 in).
The proportions deserve a second look. Face width equals the maximum diameter, so the envelope suits shaft-type parts and stacked blanks as much as single discs. The cutter can be up to 160 mm in diameter, larger than the biggest workpiece, and spindle power is listed at 22 kW (29.5 hp). With a 4 mm module limit, that power leaves headroom for productive feed rates at this tooth size.
Listed repeatability is ±2 µm and the control is a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl with Gleason GEMS software. Machine weight is given as approx. 12,000 kg (26,460 lb). That is heavy for a 130 mm (5.1 in) workpiece capacity, so confirm it against the machine's documentation before planning foundations or rigging.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Face width of 130 mm (5.1 in) matches the maximum diameter, so shafts and stacked blanks fit as well as discs
- Spindle power of 22 kW (29.5 hp) on a machine limited to module 4 mm
- Listed repeatability of ±2 µm
- Takes cutters up to 160 mm in diameter
Limitations
- Workpiece diameter is limited to 130 mm (5.1 in) and module to 4 mm
- Listed weight of approx. 12,000 kg (26,460 lb) is a large floor load for a small-gear machine
- No spindle speed, helix angle or axis travel is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures are a maximum workpiece diameter of 130 mm (5.1 in), a maximum face width of 130 mm (5.1 in) and a maximum module of 4 mm. Cutters up to 160 mm in diameter are listed. No minimum module or helix angle limit appears in the table.
02
Spindle power is listed at 22 kW (29.5 hp). The table does not give a spindle speed or torque, so the power figure on its own does not tell you the cutting speed available for a given cutter diameter.
03
The control system row reads Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl with Gleason GEMS software. Listed repeatability is ±2 µm. The table does not say which axis or measurement that repeatability refers to, so ask before using it in a capability calculation.
