High performance:
- Chip-to-chip time < 1 second due to parallel loading/unloading during the hobbing process
- Pendulum machining with 2 spindles
- Lowest cost per part and extended tool life
- Ideal for dry machining
- Rigid and robust workpiece and tool spindles: increased cutting parameters and tool life
- Shorter cutting times due to higher material removal rates
- Final finish quality IT4 to IT5 achieved with a single cut or grinding-like process
- Doubled productivity with two spindles featuring reduced acceleration and deceleration
- The high-productivity 2-spindle hobbing center is equipped with a tailstock and tension rod with a closed force loop
- Easy change over through excellent access and an ergonomical work holding and hob tool change < 10 min
- User-friendly interface with intelligent software package
- Singular construction design with lift hooks for easy redeployment
For a multitude of manufacturing possibilities::
- Parallel to the main processing time: deburring with a pressure roller and deburring wheel and removal of secondary burrs on the flank with a grinding cut
- Finish machinig in final quality IT4 to IT5 with the single cut or a dressing cut process
Convenient tool change:
- To change the hob cutter, the hob head is swivelled into a vertical position prior to the operator accessing the work area
- Based on the excellent access and the use of both hands a hob cutter change is possible in only 30 seconds
Precision to the micron, day after day, year after year
All hobbing machines of the FHC platform have a mono-block machine base made from mineral base concrete for maximum rigidity with optimum damping characteristics and high dynamic axis servo drives. Direct driven synchron motors for the work piece spindle and the tool spindle with high resolution encoders, guarantee a high dynamic feedback control system, highest quality and a long life of the production machine.
