Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Klingelnberg. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Klingelnberg P 65 is a gear measuring machine with 5 CNC measuring axes for workpieces up to 650 mm (25.6 in) in diameter. It does not cut or grind. It checks gears across a module range of 0.30 – 35 mm, with 0.20 mm shown in brackets and tied to a footnote in Klingelnberg's table.
Vertical capacity comes in two versions. The vertical measuring interval is 800 mm, or 1,200 mm in brackets, and the distance between centers is 50 – 1,000 mm, or 1,500 mm in brackets. Read across the rows, the bracketed figures describe a taller column: machine height goes from 2,430 mm to 2,930 mm while the footprint stays at 2,220 x 2,140 mm. The decision is therefore about ceiling clearance and shaft length, not floor area. For rotating parts the permissible moment of inertia is 100 kgm², which matters most for large-diameter gears, since inertia rises with the square of the radius.
Accuracy is stated as a length measuring error MPE_E0 of 1.8 µm + L/250 mm, tied to a reference temperature gradient of 2 K/h, 12 K/d and 2 K/m. Take the two rows together: the error figure assumes the room changes by no more than 2 K in an hour and 12 K over a day, and varies by no more than 2 K per metre. A shop that cannot hold those gradients around the machine should plan an enclosure or a measuring room.
Services are light. The compressed air connection is 6 bar at 1 l/min, a small demand for a shop air line.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Module range of 0.30 – 35 mm on one machine, for workpieces up to 650 mm (25.6 in) in diameter
- Vertical measuring interval of 800 mm, with 1,200 mm as the bracketed alternative
- Distance between centers of 50 – 1,000 mm, or 1,500 mm in the bracketed version
- Length measuring error MPE_E0 of 1.8 µm + L/250 mm
- Compressed air demand is only 6 bar at 1 l/min
Limitations
- The stated accuracy depends on holding temperature gradients of 2 K/h, 12 K/d and 2 K/m
- Permissible moment of inertia is 100 kgm², which can exclude large-diameter parts
- The bracketed version raises machine height from 2,430 mm to 2,930 mm
- Module 0.20 mm appears only in brackets with a footnote, so it is not part of the plain range

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The table describes a measuring machine: 5 CNC measuring axes, a vertical measuring interval, a distance between centers and a length measuring error. It inspects gears up to 650 mm (25.6 in) in diameter and does not remove metal.
02
Workpieces up to 650 mm (25.6 in) in diameter, in modules of 0.30 – 35 mm. The vertical measuring interval is 800 mm, or 1,200 mm in brackets, and the distance between centers is 50 – 1,000 mm, or 1,500 mm in brackets. The permissible moment of inertia is 100 kgm².
03
The reference temperature gradient is 2 K/h, 12 K/d and 2 K/m, and the length measuring error of 1.8 µm + L/250 mm is stated against it. The machine also needs a compressed air connection of 6 bar at 1 l/min.
04
Klingelnberg lists approximate dimensions of 2,220 x 2,140 x 2,430 mm, with 2,930 mm in brackets for the height. The bracketed height lines up with the bracketed 1,200 mm vertical measuring interval, so check ceiling and crane clearance if that version is being considered.
