Gear Cutting Hobbing Machine: Core Equipment in the Field of Gear Machining

Table of Content [Hide]

    In modern mechanical manufacturing, the gear cutting hobbing machine, as one of the most widely used equipment in gear processing machinery, is extensively applied in fields such as automobiles, tractors, machine tools, engineering machinery, mining machinery, and metallurgical machinery. With its efficient and precise gear processing capabilities, it has become an essential tool for producing mechanical components like straight gears, helical gears, worm wheels, and sprockets.


    What Is a Gear Cutting Hobbing Machine?


    A gear cutting hobbing machine is a type of machine tool equipment that uses a hob cutter to cut gears through a generating process. By the relative motion between the hob and the workpiece, it gradually cuts the precise tooth profile. It not only processes straight and helical cylindrical gears but can also use specially designed hobs to process worm wheels, sprockets, and spline shafts with special tooth shapes. With its excellent adaptability, the gear cutting hobbing machine plays a crucial role in the mechanical manufacturing industry.
