Serial production of large gears requires a high level of quality, excellence and continuity in production. Particular emphasis is placed on maximum synergy between the grinding machine, the grinding process and the grinding wheel. After several successful trials on various Klingelnberg Höfler Rapid grinding machines carried out by Krebs & Riedel with customers in their production facilities, Krebs & Riedel has received several large orders for grinding large gears from abroad and has introduced the new premium grinding wheels with high process reliability. Krebs & Riedel is one of the world's leading manufacturers of grinding wheels for gear grinding in the automotive and EV sector. The family-owned company is also expanding into other sectors where large gears are manufactured with the new Blue Moon TZ premium product range. In recent years, wind power has been an important factor in reducing CO2 emissions. Wind turbines are getting bigger and more powerful, while production costs have to be reduced. This requires production methods that can produce the gears cost-effectively and in high quality, even with complex flank modifications. Gear sizes in wind power typically range from 800 to 4000 mm. Some gears can even reach a diameter of 8000 mm and weigh up to 100 tonnes. The most common size in the field of external gears is 1200 mm in diameter and ranges from module 12 to module 52. The profile grinding wheels typically have a diameter of 100 – 450 mm.
