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.
Soft- or hard-machine a bevel gear in 25 to 40 seconds with EMAG’s VL 1 Twin, a pick-up turning machine that simultaneously machines two identical bevel gears at high speed within the same machining area. Automating the loading process lowers cycle time to 4.5 seconds.
Distributed in North America by Helios Gear Products, YG Tech’s NEOPS 200 and NEOPS 400 NEO combine an affordable power skiving solution for profitably producing gears with domestic technical and engineering support.
Helios’ Hera 500 CNC gear hobbing machine harnesses advanced technologies such as servo motors and a direct-drive work spindle to meet diverse parts-manufacturing needs. Its cast iron base gives plenty of stability in tough cutting conditions.
