Pfauter PE-80AW CNC Gear Hobber

S/N 27327, 1990

We have one of these machines which have been removed from service as fully functional machine. This machine can be purchased with the existing AB8200 controls, or it could be purchased with a full recontrol using either GE Fanuc 18i-MB, Siemens 840D, or a NUM 1050 CNC.

As with all used equipment MTB places for sale, this machine will be totally cleaned, hydraulic and coolant systems drained and cleaned, all gib adjustments will be checked, all worm lashes will be adjusted, all broken or missing parts will be replaced, all oil leaks repaired and then the machine will be fully recertified using the ISO/DIN 6545 alignment standards for gear hobbing machines.

This can machine can also be painted and/or fully rebuilt back to original OEM specifications for a reasonable cost.

This machine came from to us from Black and Decker where it saw service cutting very small gears for hand tools. It has a high speed 3000 RPM hob head, 6 thread table worm, automatic loading system with high speed EWAB chain and double gripper, power clamping, Hansen coolant oil chiller, floor standing mist extraction unit, full guarding.

The controls are unique in the sense that this machine has an Allen Bradley 8200 CNC but it does not have the proprietary Pfauter Geartronic system, instead the AB8200 performs the Geartronic function itself. It is equipped with Bosch 'T' type servo drives and motors which are the more reliable later version systems.
