How much does the Gleason P600G 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 P600G is a single-index profile grinding machine for gears up to 600 mm (23.6 in) in diameter, extendable to 800 mm (31.5 in), with a maximum module of 15 mm and a gear width of up to 600 mm (23.6 in). The listed figures name the grinding method as single-index profile grinding (Maag method) and the gear types as external/internal spur, helical, and arbitrary profiles.
The table is smaller than the work it carries. It is 450 mm (17.7 in) in diameter with a 215 mm (8.5 in) bore, takes up to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) and turns at 0 - 22 RPM. A 600 mm (23.6 in) gear overhangs it, so fixture design carries more of the job than on a machine with a full-width table, and the bore gives a shaft end somewhere to go. The P 800G is listed with a table load of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), so a heavy gear near the extended diameter may belong there instead.
On the grinding side the spindle runs from 1,200 - 8,000 RPM and pivots +/- 40°, which sets the steepest helix the wheel can be swung to. Profile depth is 35 mm at the 15 mm module limit. Feed rates are 3,000 mm/min in X, 5,000 mm/min in Y and 4,800 mm/min in Z.
For installation, the machine weighs 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) and measures 6.2 x 6.6 x 3.7 m (20.3 x 21.7 x 12.1 ft). The control is listed as Siemens Sinumerik 840C/D, so establish which of the two a given machine has.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Grinds external and internal spur and helical gears as well as arbitrary profiles
- Workpiece diameter of 600 mm (23.6 in) is extendable to 800 mm (31.5 in)
- Grinding spindle range of 1,200 - 8,000 RPM with a pivoting angle of +/- 40°
- Module up to 15 mm with 35 mm of profile depth and up to 600 mm (23.6 in) of gear width
- Table bore of 215 mm (8.5 in) lets shaft ends pass below the table surface
Limitations
- Table load is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), against 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) listed for the P 800G
- The 450 mm (17.7 in) table is smaller than the 600 mm (23.6 in) workpiece diameter, so large gears overhang it
- Single-index grinding finishes one tooth gap at a time, which is slower than a continuous method on high-volume parts
- Installation needs room for 6.2 x 6.6 x 3.7 m (20.3 x 21.7 x 12.1 ft) and a floor for 11,000 kg (24,250 lb)
- Pivoting angle of +/- 40° limits the helix angles that can be ground

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a workpiece diameter of 600 mm (23.6 in), extendable to 800 mm (31.5 in), a maximum gear width of 600 mm (23.6 in) and a maximum module of 15 mm with 35 mm of profile depth. Table load is limited to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb).
02
Single-index profile grinding, listed as the Maag method. The wheel carries the form of the tooth gap and the gear is indexed from one gap to the next. The listed gear types are external/internal spur, helical, and arbitrary profiles.
03
Table diameter is 450 mm (17.7 in) with a 215 mm (8.5 in) bore. Maximum table load is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) and table speed is 0 - 22 RPM. The table is smaller than the 600 mm (23.6 in) maximum workpiece, so check how a large gear will be supported.
04
The grinding spindle is listed at 1,200 - 8,000 RPM. Feed rates are 3,000 mm/min on X, 5,000 mm/min on Y and 4,800 mm/min on Z. The grinding head has a pivoting angle of +/- 40°.
05
Listed weight is 11,000 kg (24,250 lb) and listed dimensions are 6.2 x 6.6 x 3.7 m (20.3 x 21.7 x 12.1 ft). The control row reads Siemens Sinumerik 840C/D, so a machine may carry either version; confirm which before planning service or retrofit work.
