vertical

Parallel to the gear hobbing process, workpieces are chamfered by chamfer hobbing, a cutting chamfer technology. The machine is arranged with an integrated chamfer station which is directly linked to the main process by a fast gantry automation, allows minimum cycle times without any productivity loss. Workpiece diameter, max.160 mm Module, max.4 mm Shaft length, max. 380 mm High-Speed Hobbing - Dry or Wet The Genesis® 160HCD is designed for dry high-speed hobbing but can be easily adapted to wet cutting as well. Uniform & Precise Chamfers The Gleason chamfer-hobbing process creates precise and uniform chamfers while avoiding burrs on the face side and the gear flanks. Highly Efficient Process The chamfer hobbing process runs in parallel to the hobbing process, guaranteeing minimum cycle times without any productivity loss. Chamfer Hobbing Tool Technology Chamfer hobs feature long tool life and simple reconditioning similar to standard hobs. Automation Included The 160HCD is equipped with a fast CNC gantry loader with V gripper for minimum idle times. Other automation solutions on request. Next Generation The next generation Gleason operating software has been developed for intuitive and efficient operation. It´s open architecture is prepared to integrate latest 4.0 functions.
