Tooth for Tooth: Gear Cutting
|
Precise gear cutting doesn't come cheap. Until now it has been necessary to rechuck workpieces numerous times or use costly CNC lathes. But as the saying goes, 'it ain't necessarily so,” because EWS Werkzeugfabrik design engineers have developed, in collaboration with Gildemeister, a solution that allows gear-cutting tools to be used with conventional lathes. The new technique enables the cutter head to rotate steplessly all the way around the shaft, thus eliminating the need for costly B axes on the machine and allowing the entire gear-cutting process to be realized without rechucking. Products & Services
Gear cutting, gear forming and gear finishing machines are used to cut, form, and finish gear teeth. They perform processes such as hobbing, milling, grinding, lapping, and deburring.
