Gleason Phoenix 600HC

The Gleason Phoenix 600HC is a high-capacity CNC bevel gear cutting machine engineered for the production of large spiral bevel and hypoid gears used in heavy trucks, construction equipment, off-highway vehicles, and industrial gearboxes. With a maximum workpiece diameter of 600 mm and a robust 5-axis cutting platform, the Phoenix 600HC delivers the precision and throughput demanded by Tier 1 automotive and heavy equipment suppliers.

Built around Gleason's proven Phoenix machine architecture, the 600HC features a rigid cast iron base with finite-element-optimized geometry to minimize thermal growth and vibration during high-speed face milling and face hobbing operations. The machine supports both Gleason and Klingelnberg bevel gear cutting methods, making it versatile for shops that produce gears to multiple customer standards. The integrated Gleason Windows-based control system provides seamless integration with Gleason CAGE and GEMS software for full gear geometry simulation and closed-loop correction.

The Phoenix 600HC incorporates a high-torque direct-drive workspindle and a powerful cutter spindle capable of accommodating large-diameter face mill cutters. Automatic tool changers and workpiece loading interfaces are available as options, enabling lights-out production in high-volume environments. The machine's thermal compensation system continuously monitors key structural temperatures and applies real-time corrections to maintain dimensional accuracy across long production runs.

As a flagship product in Gleason's Phoenix line, the 600HC is backed by Gleason's global service network and a comprehensive suite of process engineering support. It is a preferred choice for aerospace gearbox manufacturers, commercial vehicle axle producers, and industrial gearbox OEMs requiring large bevel gear production with consistent quality at scale.
