Hobbing
Gear hobbing machines from minitype to large diameter for spur and helical gear cutting.
What This Category Is Really For
A gear is not a part you can buy quickly when a machine is down. Plants that run gearboxes, conveyors and agricultural equipment in remote locations either hold expensive spares or wait weeks. In-house hobbing turns a multi-week import into a shop job.
- Minitype through large-diameter machines in one family
- Cuts spur and helical gears with standard hob tooling
- We also manufacture the pre-grind hobbing cutters, so machine and tooling come from one supplier
