Gear Hobbing Machine for High-Accuracy Gear Manufacturing

1.Introduction

A Gear Hobbing Machine is an important gear cutting equipment used widely today.

It not only can cut gears with high precision, but also helps factories to improve processing speed, quality and stability of production.

At Nanjing Bangwin Machine, we have been manufacturing reliable gear hobbing equipment for industries all over the world.

We make hobbing machines in such a way that they can deliver stable performance under production of gears, for the reason that gear production requires high precision, efficiency, and long service life.

In addition, since the gear is a commonly used product, the hobbing process is required to help increase the reliability of all kinds of mechanisms.

In that way, with continuous innovation, we supply processing solutions that meet the needs of automotive, energy, robotics, and transmission industry sectors, etc.

2. What Is a Gear Hobbing Machine?

A Gear Hobbing Machine is used for cutting gear teeth with a rotating hob.

The hob and the workpiece rotate in a synchronized movement.

Gear teeth are formed with a perfectly shaped profile and consistent spacing between teeth.

Gear hobbing can process a variety of gear types, such as spur gear, helical gear, worm gear and spline.

Gear hobbing has the advantages of high cutting speed and stable precision.

This is also the reason why many factories like this gear cutting process for mass production.

3. How a Gear Hobbing Machine Works

Gear Hobbing Machine fixture places the gear blank on the spindle.

The hob also rotates and both shafts maintain a constant speed ratio.

The speed ratio determines how many teeth are formed on the workpiece.

Users can make fine adjustment of rotation speed, feed rate, and cutting depth by CNC control.

As a result, this gear hobbing machine produces stable tooth profile and less tool wear.

In more advanced models, there are functions for automatic lubrication, fast cooling and digital monitoring.

4. Main features

The following are the main features of a Gear Hobbing Machine:

  • CNC or servo control for precise cutting
  • High-rigidity frame for vibration control
  • Adjustable feed rate and cutting speed
  • Automatic chip removal mechanism
  • Precision spindle bearings
  • Heavy-duty cutting torque for hard materials
  • Robust hob arbor construction

These features allow for the stable production of gears even after extended operation times.

5. Product description

The Nanjing Bangwin Machine Gear Hobbing Machine can be used to produce gears for automotive components, conveyors, reducers, and hydraulic equipment.

It can cut alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, and other materials.

The machine uses a servo feed system to ensure smooth hobbing and accurate tooth shape.

The machine’s base structure is made of heavy-duty cast iron. This ensures the machine has high rigidity and does not vibrate during high-speed cutting.

It improves the precision of machining and the surface finish of the gear.

In addition, the machine can be used for large-scale production, small batch production, and precision custom gear production.

Optional automation functions are also available, such as:

  • Automatic loading system
  • AI-assisted cutting monitoring
  • Digital error compensation system

These options allow factories to reduce costs and increase production efficiency.
