WITTENSTEIN galaxie develops, manufactures, and markets radically innovative gearboxes and drive systems based on a completely new operating principle. With this unique expertise, WITTENSTEIN galaxie is a global leader in rotary mechatronic drive technology. ### Machinery & plant engineering ### Automation ### Pharmaceutical & packaging industry ### Medical robotic ### Semiconductor ![](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/_processed_/3/0/csm_mechanical-engineering-keyvisual_39c5e9f867.webp) The Galaxie® gearbox revolutionizes the turret in the new INDEX ABC CNC turning machine. While the machine concept, working space, footprint, cycle times and cutting quality match the previous version, the upper turret has been completely redefined thanks to Galaxie®. This innovation enables versatile new machining options and expands the range of parts. The leap in performance was achieved by replacing rigid Hirth coupling and hydraulic clamping with the compact Galaxie® GS 190 from the accuracy line – featuring an optimized bearing concept for maximum precision.

These AFP systems produce large composite parts for Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer and NASA. In 2016, Electroimpact achieved a breakthrough in performance, scale and precision by integrating the WITTENSTEIN Galaxie® system. The result: enhanced accuracy and reliability for highly complex automation processes in aircraft assembly and composite manufacturing.

The Galaxie® D135 actuator from WITTENSTEIN galaxie met these requirements perfectly. It offers outstanding precision and dynamics, while simplifying design, assembly and service. This integrated solution optimizes machine performance and ensures reliable operation in demanding pharmaceutical production environments.

This achieves a tooth contact surface that is six and a half times larger compared to conventional involute teeth with line contact. To achieve this maximum contact, we have implemented a fundamentally new concept: individual teeth are guided simultaneously along an internal ring gear. The tooth surface geometry is based on a logarithmic spiral which allows the teeth to engage with the internal ring gear across the full surface. ![](https://www.wittenstein-group.com/fileadmin/_processed_/a/f/csm_Video-Poster_cf7517d3a5.webp) Video afspelen ##### Precision and productivity Zero backlash and higher dampening enable e.g. medical robots to perform surgical procedures with precision. ##### Maximum safety Crucial safety reserves in case of overload. ##### Space and weight savings Extremely high torsional rigidity and high torque density enable drivetrain downsizing or application upgrades without increasing footprint.
