Gear Hobbing Attachment for External Gear Teeth
September 1, 2014
"The compact EPPINGER Gear Hobbing Attachment from EXSYS Tool, Inc., packs the power, precision and versatility to generate highly accurate external gear teeth on a wide range of shaft-type components. Designed for all machine tool brand turrets (live stations), the attachment delivers single-setup, one-operation gear cutting capability," said a company spokesperson.
With the gear hobbing attachment, shops can generate splines, spur or helical gears. The attachment's adjustable toolholding system eliminates the need to rough gears on one machine then transfer them to another for gear hobbing. To compensate for different types of grooves and pitches in splines and gears, users simply adjust the attachment's Vernier dial to the applicable settings.
As a gear-driven system, the gear hobbing attachment handles hefty machining loads. It is also equipped with heavy-duty bearings for high precision and rigidity. The attachment generates 45 Nm of torque and runs at speeds as fast as 5,000 RPM for hobs or slotting saws up to 2.480" in diameter, making it suited for machining tough alloys, such as those often used in the aerospace industry.
Tool changes take only seconds when using the gear hobbing attachment.
