CNC Gear Hobbing
CNC gear hobbing enables fast, accurate production of gears and splined components by synchronizing rotating tools and workpieces for consistent, high-precision cutting.
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 CNC Systems for Gear Hobbing
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
CNC Training Products
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.
