CNC Gear Hobbing Machine — What to Look At
A CNC gear hobbing machine is the workhorse for high-volume, high-precision gear cutting. Selection comes down to axis count, module range, vertical vs horizontal and the level of automation.
Types and Variants
- 6-axis CNC hobbing
- Large-module machines (up to ~10-module class)
- Vertical / Horizontal
- Dual-spindle / automated loading
Where They Are Used
Automotive transmission gears, construction-equipment gears, wind-power gears, precision reducers, splines and worms.
Typical Specification Range
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Max module | 6–12 mm class by model |
| Max workpiece diameter | by size |
| Axes | 4–6 |
| Indexing / dividing accuracy | high-precision class |
| Automation | loading optional |
Selection Notes
Pick the model by module and diameter, the axis count and automation by cycle time. Hardened gears need a grinding or hard-hobbing process.
