Gear Cutting Machines
Gear cutting machine tools adjust and control cutting speeds for precision production of a specific number of gear teeth, including the milling of circular, holed plates without teeth, hobbing or cutting out of teeth, broaching or boring through inner surface machining, quenching by heat treatment and grinding of the surfaces and the teeth.
How Hard Scudding is Shaping New Horizons
This process development is a viable and very cost-effective alternative to conventional grind-and-hone operations for automotive powertrains and other gear market segments, yielding a highly attractive cost per piece, extended tool life scenario, reduced capital outlay and more consistent end product bode.

New powertrain components. More sensors and electronics parts. Increasing part complexity. Difficult to cut materials. Faster delivery. How do automotive suppliers navigate to profitability through this stormy sea of lightweighting and driverless cars?
Automated threaded wheel grinding on gear production machines has now been boosted by an order of magnitude with increased machining accuracy to DIN class 3.
Always As Fast As Possible: This gear hobbing system currently holds the world record in chip-to-chip times for the machining of shafts and pinions with the least number of teeth. At this moment, however, next generation technology is being developed that will once again smash that record.
Helios Gear Products introduces YG Tech’s Helios Hera 150 CNC machine to North America. The easy-to-program machine provides compact vertical hobbing for gears up to 6 inches (150 mm) in diameter.
Ideal for aerospace suppliers and job shops, the travel of the main and counter column in the compact LGG 400 M gear grinding machine from Liebherr has been extended for precision machining of long shafts.
The Affolter AF110 plus gear hobbing center from Rotec Tools maximizes productivity in cutting small spur, helical, frontal, bevel, and crown gears for medical equipment, with cutter-spindle speeds up to 12,000 rpm.
