Gear processing manufacturer

Gear machining is a relatively complex process, and common machining methods include the following:

Gear milling: Use a milling machine and specialized milling cutters to machine gears. This method is suitable for processing gears with large modulus and relatively low precision requirements. It forms the tooth profile through tooth by tooth milling, which has low production efficiency but relatively low equipment cost. It is commonly used in single piece small batch production or repair occasions

Gear hobbing: Using a gear hobbing machine, gears are machined through the relative motion between the rolling cutter and the gear blank. The shape of the rolling cutter is similar to a worm, and its blade will cut tooth profiles on the gear blank when rotating. The efficiency of gear hobbing is high, and it can process cylindrical gears with different moduli and tooth numbers, which is suitable for mass production

Gear hobbing: On a gear hobbing machine, gears are machined using the up and down reciprocating motion of the hobbing cutter and the rotational motion of the gear blank.

. The shape of a gear hobbing tool is like a gear with a cutting edge, which simulates the meshing motion of a pair of gears during the cutting process. It can machine some gear types that are difficult to machine with hobbing, such as internal gears and double gears, with high machining accuracy, but the production efficiency is slightly lower compared to hobbing

Grinding: For gears with high precision requirements, especially those that have undergone quenching and other heat treatments, grinding technology is often used.

. Grinding is the process of grinding the gear tooth surface using a grinding wheel on a gear grinding machine. It can eliminate the deformation caused by heat treatment, further improve the accuracy and surface quality of gears, and can process gears with suitable accuracy, but the processing cost is high and the production efficiency is low

During the gear machining process, multiple auxiliary processes are required, such as preparation of gear blanks, heat treatment, surface treatment, and quality inspection, to confirm that the quality and performance of the gear meet the requirements for use
