CNC, or computer numerical control, gear hobbing allows for extremely fast and accurate production of gears, splines and sprockets. Gear hobbing involves mounting a workpiece on a spindle that is connected to a motor, which rotates the part at a high speed, while a specialized cutting tool – called a hob – also rotates to cut gear teeth into the part. The cutting speed and angle must be precisely controlled to ensure a consistent and accurate cut. The FANUC CNCs are perfect for gear hobbing applications due to their speed, accuracy and repeatability.
FANUC CNCs, known for their rock-solid reliability and unbeatable performance, enable gear hobbing equipment to produce at a high rate with exceptional finishes. Thanks to our CNC’s ability to accurately and precisely synchronize the rotation of both spindles used in the process, manufacturers experience the full benefits of CNC gear hobbing. The following FANUC controls are perfect for gear hobbing applications
FANUC 30i‑B Plus CNC enhances 5‑axis machining with faster cycles, advanced controls, and streamlined operation for high-performance machine tools.
FANUC 0i‑F Plus CNC offers reliable performance for multi-control applications, with customizable functions and user-friendly features to boost productivity.
There is a growing need for skilled workers competent in the setup, programming and operation of CNCs. FANUC America provides CNC training tools for manufacturers looking to train in-house using real FANUC equipment without taking a machine tool out of production.
FANUC started the development of Numeric Control (NC) technology back in 1955. Since then, our engineers have continuously engrained new and innovative technologies into our products. With over 60 years of experience and 40 million automation products installed worldwide, FANUC is a global leader in the automation industry. More CNC operators know and trust FANUC’s CNC platform.
