How much does the Gleason Genesis 260GX 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 260GX is a threaded wheel gear grinding machine from the Genesis GX Series, listed for workpieces up to 260 mm in diameter, a maximum module of 4 mm and shafts up to 500 mm long.
The module limit is what narrows the field. A 4 mm ceiling combined with a 260 mm diameter describes gears with many fine-to-medium teeth; a coarse-pitch part of the same diameter is outside the range. The 500 mm shaft length means the machine takes shaft-type parts as well as disc gears, so one grinder can serve both halves of a gearbox part family.
Automation is listed as conveyor or palletizer, either Gleason integrated or through a third-party interface. That is a real choice at order time: an integrated solution comes with the machine, while the third-party interface leaves the handling equipment to the buyer's own integrator. The table carries no wheel dimensions, spindle speeds, cycle times or machine weight, so request those with the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Workpiece diameter up to 260 mm with shafts up to 500 mm long, so disc and shaft gears both fit
- Automation by conveyor or palletizer, as a Gleason integrated solution or via a third-party interface
- Threaded wheel grinding, a continuous method suited to series production
Limitations
- Maximum module is 4 mm, which excludes coarse-pitch gears even at 260 mm diameter
- No wheel size, spindle speed or weight is given in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Gleason lists a maximum workpiece diameter of 260 mm, a maximum module of 4 mm and a maximum shaft length of 500 mm. Both conditions apply together, so a 260 mm gear with teeth coarser than module 4 mm is out of range.
02
A conveyor or a palletizer. Either can be a Gleason integrated solution, or the machine can connect to outside equipment through a third-party interface. Decide which before ordering, since it determines who is responsible for the handling system.
