Working principle of a gear hobbing machine:
Gear hobbing is a machining process that gradually forms the gear tooth profile through a cutting method. The specific steps include: first, determining parameters such as the gear module and number of teeth, and selecting a suitable hob. The workpiece is mounted on the hobbing machine,
Once the hob is engaged with the workpiece, it cuts along the tooth profile line through a combination of rotation and feed motion, gradually generating the target tooth shape. During the hobbing process, the machine controls the hob's movement path to ensure proper contact with the workpiece surface,
thereby guaranteeing cutting quality and precision. Through repeated cutting passes, the tooth profile of the entire gear is gradually completed.
Working principle of a gear shaping machine:
Gear shaping is also a machining process that forms the gear tooth profile through a cutting method, cutting the teeth one by one. The specific steps include: first, determining parameters such as the gear module and number of teeth, and selecting a suitable shaping cutter. The workpiece is mounted on the gear shaping machine,
Once the shaping cutter is engaged with the workpiece, it cuts the target tooth shape one by one along the tooth profile line through a combination of rotation and feed motion. During the shaping process, the machine controls the cutter's movement path to ensure proper contact with the workpiece surface,
thereby guaranteeing cutting quality and precision. Through repeated shaping passes, the tooth profile of the entire gear is gradually completed.
