Gear Hobbing
At IPG, we specialize in the precision manufacturing of gears using advanced gear hobbing techniques. Our modern gear hobbing machines allow us to produce high-quality gears that meet the exacting standards of our clients.
Gear hobbing is a versatile and widely used process for creating gears. It involves using a specialized cutting tool called a hob to cut teeth into a gear blank. The hob rotates and moves along the gear blank, cutting teeth into the metal as it rotates.
Our gear hobbing process is designed to produce a wide variety of gears, including:
-
Spur Gears: Simple, straight-toothed gears used in many applications.
-
Helical Gears: Gears with angled teeth, providing smoother and quieter operation.
-
Splines: Longitudinal grooves used for transmitting torque.
