Gear hobbing machines, horizontal

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.
