How the Hobbing Machine Works?

Press Release | December, 2023

Here is a brief overview of how Gear Hobbing Machines work:

1. Fixing the Workpiece: The metal workpiece that will be machined to create the gear is securely fixed in place on the machine.

2. Positioning the Hob: The hob, which is a specialized cutting tool with multiple teeth, is positioned above the workpiece.

3. Engaging the Hob: The hob is brought into contact with the workpiece, and as it rotates, its teeth engage with the material of the workpiece.

4. Cutting Process: The hob gradually cuts into the workpiece, removing material to create the gear teeth. The cutting process can be radial or axial, depending on the specific Gear Hobbing Machine.

5. Rotational Control: The indexing mechanism of the machine controls the rotational position of the workpiece. It allows the workpiece to rotate a specific number of degrees between each cut, ensuring accurate spacing and alignment of the gear teeth.

6. Feed Mechanism: The feed mechanism controls the movement of the hob in relation to the workpiece. It determines the depth and width of each gear tooth cut and ensures consistent and precise machining.

7. Cooling and Lubrication: During the cutting process, a coolant system is used to provide lubrication and cooling to the cutting area. This helps reduce heat and tool wear, ensuring efficient machining and prolonging the life of the hob.

8. Completion of Gear Teeth: The cutting process continues as the hob cuts into the workpiece, gradually forming the complete set of gear teeth according to the desired specifications.
