How much does the Gleason GENESIS 210H 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 210H is a vertical CNC gear hobbing machine for workpieces up to 210 mm (8.3 in) in outside diameter, with a maximum module of 8 mm (DP 3.2) and up to 200 mm (7.9 in) of face width. Both the workpiece spindle and the hob spindle are listed as direct-drive.
Direct drive puts no gear train between motor and spindle, and on the hob side the listed feature is programmable hob shift. Shifting moves the hob along its own axis so that fresh teeth come into the cut, and programming it spreads wear over the whole tool. The axes row names X, Y and Z, A for workpiece rotation, B for hob rotation and C for hob shift. Maximum helix angle is ±45 degrees.
Module 8 mm on a 210 mm (8.3 in) part is a coarse tooth for the diameter, so the listed figures describe a machine meant to take deep cuts on compact gears. The 200 mm (7.9 in) face width is close to the diameter limit, which brings shaft-type parts into range. For those, the clamping row matters: a hydraulic arbor or chuck, with top support available.
Deburring is not included. An optional Gleason Hurth or mechanical deburring module is listed. Automation is ring loader or gantry loader compatible, which describes an interface and not a supplied loader. The control is Gleason GEMS on Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl, and the listed dimensions are 3,200 x 2,000 x 2,800 mm (126 x 79 x 110 in). Spindle speeds, power and weight are not in the table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Direct-drive workpiece spindle in vertical orientation and a direct-drive hob spindle
- Programmable hob shift spreads wear along the hob
- Module up to 8 mm (DP 3.2) on a workpiece of up to 210 mm (8.3 in) outside diameter
- Face width up to 200 mm (7.9 in) with top support available for shaft parts
- Ring loader or gantry loader compatible
Limitations
- Deburring is an optional Gleason Hurth or mechanical deburring module, not part of the listed machine
- Outside diameter is limited to 210 mm (8.3 in)
- Spindle speeds, spindle power and machine weight are not listed
- Loader compatibility is an interface; the loader itself is extra equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures are 210 mm (8.3 in) maximum workpiece outside diameter, module 8 mm (DP 3.2), 200 mm (7.9 in) maximum face width and a helix angle of ±45 degrees. No minimum module is given in the table.
02
The axes row reads 5 and names X, Y, Z, A for workpiece rotation, B for hob rotation and C for hob shift. The hob spindle is listed as direct-drive with programmable hob shift, and the workpiece spindle as direct-drive in vertical orientation.
03
Only with an option. The integrated deburring row lists an optional Gleason Hurth or mechanical deburring module. A machine without that module produces hobbed gears with burrs still on the tooth edges, which then need a separate operation.
04
Clamping is listed as a hydraulic arbor or chuck, with top support available. For automation the machine is ring loader or gantry loader compatible. Listed machine dimensions are 3,200 x 2,000 x 2,800 mm (126 x 79 x 110 in), which do not include a loader.
