How much does the Gleason Genesis 200GX cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Gleason. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Gleason Genesis 200GX is a CNC threaded wheel grinding machine for gears up to 200 mm (7.87 in) in diameter, laid out with dual workpiece spindles so that one part is loaded while the other is ground. The listed figures put chip-to-chip time at 4.5 sec, and that number explains the layout: with a second spindle already loaded, the idle time between parts shrinks to the exchange itself.
The integrated loader is listed with parallel load/unload to match. Workholding is Gleason Quik-Flex Plus, and setup time is given as about 20 min for a single tool changeover. On a line that grinds several gear types, the changeover figure counts as much as the cycle, because it sets how small a batch can be before setup dominates.
On the wheel side the table lists dressable or CBN threaded grinding worms and three abrasive families: conventional Al₂O₃, 3M Cubitron II and CBN. Two-zone grinding is listed as roughing plus polishing in a single wheel, so a polished flank does not need a second machine or a wheel change. Achievable quality is stated as AGMA 12+ / DIN 4-5.
There are 6 CNC axes under a Gleason CNC described as Siemens-based, and closed-loop operation is listed through Gleason inspection system integration. The table has no module range, face width, wheel size, spindle speed or machine weight, so those must be confirmed before a part family is assigned.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Dual workpiece spindles load one part while the other is ground, with a listed chip-to-chip time of 4.5 sec
- Two-zone grinding puts roughing and polishing in a single wheel
- Accepts dressable or CBN threaded grinding worms, with conventional Al₂O₃, 3M Cubitron II and CBN abrasives listed
- Setup time of about 20 min for a single tool changeover with Gleason Quik-Flex Plus workholding
- Integrated loader with parallel load/unload and closed-loop integration with a Gleason inspection system
Limitations
- Workpiece diameter is limited to 200 mm (7.87 in)
- No module range or face width is listed, so the tooth sizes it covers cannot be read from the table
- Wheel dimensions, spindle speeds and machine weight are missing from the listed figures
- The about 20 min setup figure applies to a single tool changeover; a change that also involves workholding or dressing tools is not covered by it

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The spindle configuration is listed as dual workpiece spindles for parallel load/grind. One spindle is loaded while the part on the other is being ground, so the grinding wheel is idle only during the exchange. The listed chip-to-chip time is 4.5 sec.
02
The wheel type row lists dressable or CBN threaded grinding worms. Abrasive compatibility is listed as conventional Al₂O₃, 3M Cubitron II and CBN. Two-zone grinding is listed too, with roughing and polishing zones in a single wheel.
03
Achievable quality is listed as AGMA 12+ / DIN 4-5. Closed-loop operation with a Gleason inspection system is listed as well, which means measured results can be fed back to correct the grinding settings on following parts.
04
Setup time is listed as about 20 min for a single tool changeover, with Gleason Quik-Flex Plus as the workholding system. The table does not break that figure down, so ask what is included if your changeovers involve more than one tool.
