Kumera Antriebstechnik GmbH Elevates Gear Production with DMG MORI Solutions

July 2024 – Graz-based Kumera Antriebstechnik GmbH, part of the Kumera Power Transmission Group, has significantly enhanced its gear production capabilities using DMG MORI’s advanced technology. Specializing in the manufacturing of complex gears, including herringbone, helical, and spur gears, Kumera leverages DMG MORI’s NT 5400 and NT 6600 turn-mill machines equipped with the gearMILL technology cycle.

Kumera Antriebstechnik GmbH has been a cornerstone of the Kumera Corporation since 1981, producing a wide range of gears and components for various industrial applications. With an annual output of up to 25,000 gears and components, the company serves clients in industries such as pulp and paper, mining, and marine, among others. Their expertise includes producing high-precision gears that can be up to three meters in diameter and weigh up to 30 tons.

The integration of DMG MORI’s turn-mill machines has revolutionized Kumera’s production process. The NT 5400 and NT 6600 models, known for their precision and efficiency, allow Kumera to perform both turning and milling operations on a single machine. This capability is crucial for the production of complex gear geometries and ensures that Kumera can meet the stringent quality requirements of its clients.

One of the standout features of these machines is the gearMILL technology cycle, which simplifies the programming and machining of various gear types. This technology enables Kumera to produce herringbone gears, known for their smooth operation and high load capacity, with greater efficiency and accuracy. The ability to mill gears directly on the turn-mill machines reduces the need for multiple setups and transfers, significantly improving production times and reducing potential errors.

Kumera’s collaboration with DMG MORI has also facilitated the production of helical gears, which are commonly used in applications requiring high speed and smooth operation. The precise control offered by the NT series machines ensures that Kumera can achieve the necessary gear tooth profiles and surface finishes required for optimal performance.

Moreover, the use of DMG MORI’s technology aligns with Kumera’s commitment to quality and innovation. The machines are equipped with advanced monitoring and control systems that ensure consistent production quality. This commitment to precision and quality has enabled Kumera to maintain its reputation as a reliable supplier of high-performance gears.

The partnership between Kumera and DMG MORI exemplifies how advanced manufacturing technology can drive efficiency and innovation in traditional industries. By adopting state-of-the-art machinery and technology cycles, Kumera Antriebstechnik GmbH continues to lead the way in the production of high-quality gears for a diverse range of industrial applications.
