What's the difference between a CNC Hobbing Machine, a Gear Shaving Machine and a Gear Chamfering Machine?

2023-11-13

Press Release | November, 2023

A Cnc Hobbing Machine, Gear Shaving Machine, and Gear Chamfering Machine are all used in the manufacturing process of gears, but they serve different purposes:

1. CNC Hobbing Machine: A Cnc Hobbing machine is used for the production of gears through the process of hobbing. Hobbing is a machining process that involves generating gears by using a cutting tool called a hob. The hob is mounted on the machine, and as it rotates, it cuts the gear teeth into a blank workpiece. CNC hobbing machines are capable of producing a wide range of gears, including spur gears, helical gears, and worm gears.

2. Gear Shaving Machine: A gear shaving machine is used for the finishing process of gears after the hobbing operation. The hobbing process leaves rough edges and imperfections on the gear teeth. Gear shaving is a process that removes a thin layer of material from the gear teeth, resulting in smoother and more accurate gear surfaces. Gear shaving machines use a shaving cutter that is mounted on the machine and meshes with the gear teeth to remove the excess material.

3. Gear Chamfering Machine: A gear chamfering machine is used to chamfer the edges of gear teeth. Chamfering is the process of creating a beveled edge or angle on the gear teeth. The chamfering operation is done to remove sharp edges, improve gear meshing, and prevent damage to the gear teeth during operation. Gear chamfering machines use cutting tools or grinding wheels to create the desired chamfer on the gear teeth.
In summary, a CNC hobbing machine is used for gear production, a gear shaving machine is used for gear finishing, and a gear chamfering machine is used for creating beveled edges on gear teeth.
