Gear hobbing machines, horizontal

koepfer160 wb rgb

The Model 160 hobbing machine combines current technological advancements and an innovative design along with generations of KOEPFER gear cutting experience. With eight axes of CNC-control the latest generation 160 gear hobbing machine opens new possibilities for the true high-speed machining of gears. The machine is based on the KOEPFER design concept of symmetrical distribution of cutting forces without any cantilever effects on the guideways. The machine bed is a composite epoxy material which provides the highest static, dynamic and thermal stability. High accuracy gear cutting is accomplished with KOEPFER´s symmetrical design, the use of preloaded dampened linear roller bearing packs, and a new tailstock concept.
