HTS–FALCON / Patented technology

Proven precision. Now even more stable.

HTS–FALCON adds automatic gear backlash compensation to COMES HTS heads. An engineered evolution that helps preserve the way the head works, throughout its operating life.

01

Smoother movement

Helps reduce vibration and impacts, particularly when the oscillating movement reverses.

02

Less mechanical stress

Maintains favourable gear meshing conditions to help reduce stress on the transmission and head components.

03

Consistency over time

Automatically responds to backlash caused by wear, helping preserve the head’s initial operating characteristics.

ENGINEERED TO STAY PRECISE

Small tolerances. A lasting difference.

Wear changes the space between gear teeth. FALCON responds automatically, helping the head retain smooth, consistent movement over time.

Understand the movement.

The geared mechanism translates rotation into the oscillating movement of the abrasive holders.

02 / COMPENSATION02

Compensate for wear.

Pre-loaded elastic elements maintain contact between the satellite gears and the specially profiled main gear.

Keep the precision.

As wear increases backlash, FALCON compensates automatically, helping reduce vibration and impacts during reversals.

INSIDE THE INNOVATION

Precision starts between the teeth.

Specially sized, pre-loaded elastic elements keep the satellite gears in contact with the main gear. Its special tooth profile and the compensation system work together as the transmission wears.

Built to last. Cared for properly.

FALCON supports long-term performance; correct lubrication remains essential. Regularly check and maintain the oil level according to the head’s maintenance instructions.
