The First Chinese Gear Grinding Machine Exported to Europe

In today's highly competitive global machine tool market, we are proud to announce a major milestone: our company has secured its first gear grinding machine order from a European customer.

This achievement represents far more than a successful sale. It marks an important step forward for Chinese high-end CNC machine tools entering one of the world's most demanding manufacturing markets.

The machine selected by the customer is the KN-G320A CNC Form Gear Grinding Machine, designed for high precision batch production of hardened gears. Built around the form grinding process, the machine uses a grinding wheel dressed to match the tooth profile, delivering outstanding profile accuracy, high productivity, and excellent surface quality while eliminating undercutting.

The KN-G320A is ideal for grinding hardened spur and helical gears requiring profile and lead modifications, as well as optimized tooth root and tip geometry. Beyond involute gears, it can also process gauges, cycloidal gears, high-precision splined shafts, and other complex components.

The machine features a rigid horizontal structure with longitudinal and transverse slides, a workpiece indexing head, a helix indexing head, and an independent 3-axis CNC wheel dressing unit. It is equipped with seven AC servo axes and a variable-speed electric spindle. Five axes operate in full closed-loop control, powered by the FAGOR 8055 CNC system with 7-axis, 4-axis simultaneous control.

One of the machine's key advantages is its independent 3 axis CNC wheel dresser, which performs high-precision dressing close to the grinding position and automatically compensates wheel wear. This helps maintain long-term grinding accuracy while reducing setup time.

Programming is equally straightforward. Operators simply enter parameters such as module and number of teeth, and the software automatically generates the machining program, significantly reducing programming time and operator dependency. A fully enclosed guarding system combined with oil mist extraction also meets modern environmental and workplace safety requirements.

Entering the European market was no coincidence.

Europe remains one of the world's leading manufacturing regions, with strong demand for precision gear production in industries such as aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, industrial transmissions, and heavy machinery. As manufacturers continue to pursue higher precision and productivity, the demand for advanced gear grinding technology continues to grow.

At the same time, many European manufacturers are facing rising equipment costs, extended delivery times, and increasing supply chain uncertainty. As a result, they are actively seeking reliable alternatives that offer both technical performance and better overall value.

The customer selected our machine for three key reasons.

First, competitive value. The KN-G320A delivers machining accuracy and stability comparable to established international brands while offering a significantly lower investment cost.

Second, proven technology. Continuous advances in CNC control, software integration, and core component development have enabled Chinese gear grinding technology to meet the demanding standards required by European manufacturers.

Third, complete turnkey support. This customer had previously purchased one of our gear hobbing machines and experienced the reliability of both the equipment and our technical service. Based on that successful cooperation, discussions have already begun on additional manufacturing solutions.

Our commitment extends well beyond machine delivery. We provide process consulting, machine commissioning, operator training, and comprehensive after-sales support, delivering complete turnkey solutions tailored to each customer's production requirements.

The successful export of our first gear grinding machine to Europe represents the beginning of a new chapter. It demonstrates the growing international recognition of Chinese high end machine tools and strengthens our confidence in expanding further into global markets.

Looking ahead, we will continue investing in innovation, precision manufacturing, and customer-focused service, helping manufacturers worldwide achieve higher productivity, greater accuracy, and long-term success.
