Dear readers,

 

Using the WTO Gear Hobbing Unit it is possible to efficiently manufacture gears in different geometries and sizes with a turning center. This enables highly productive complete machining of turned parts with gears.

A hobbing machine will no longer be required for gears up to quality standard AGMA 8 (ISO 1328 Class 8). The high runout accuracy of the WTO Gear Hobbing Unit guarantees a high surface quality. The interchangeable milling arbor is available in different sizes which facilitate easy tool changes and the universal use of the Gear Hobbing Unit for a wide range of parts.

 

 

 

 

Gear Hobbing Unit for Turn/Mill Centers
Usable for machining gear quality according to standard 8 ISO 1328 (AGMA 8)

- Maximum scale swing of ±30° “A

- High stiffness and runout accuracy

- Interchangeable milling arbor “B” available in different sizes

- Easy cutting tool change through removable counter support unit “C

- Cutting tools can be pre-set

 

Machining Example: external spline of propeller shaft

630 stainless steel due to the shaft’s exposure to salt
- shaft diameter 25 mm

- spline length 54 mm
- 16 teeth
- module 1.5
Conventional hobbing in 3 steps:
1. Turning on lathe, 2. external hobbing machine, 3. finishing with lathe
WTO Gear Hobbing unit for complete machining with turning center:

Machined in total 3 minutes 40 seconds

 

Suitable cutting tools for the WTO Gear Hobbing Unit are available from Star SU, Gleason or LMT and other specialized cutting tool manufacturers.
