The CLC 200 is rated at 7.874" (200 mm) diameter at 4 DP (mn 6.0) with a maximum axial travel of 13.780" (350 mm).

The CLC 200 is designed for large gear markets such as wind energy, oil and gas, truck and tractor, and mining.

"All CLC vertical hobbing machines feature a high-speed hob head with +/-45° of swivel range. These machines also have standard features such as high-speed, direct-drive torque motors for both the work and cutter spindles, FANUC 31i CNC control and optional skiving (carbide re-hobbing) capability with an integrated electronic timing probe," said a company spokesperson.
