Gear hobbing machines, vertical

VLC 250 WF – turning, gear hobbing and deburring. The VLC 250 WF is designed for the machining of gear-type workpieces of up to 230 mm in diameter and module 4. The VLC 250 WF offers the user flexibility, as it can be used as a single-spindle turning machine, a hobbing machine, or a combination of both. Its main range of application is the precision machining of medium and large batches of gear profiles.

Advantages

The second side of the component can be turned and the gear profile hobbed in a single setup
Auxiliary operations, such as deburring of the gears with a turning or a roller deburring tool, are easy to integrate
Automation concepts with directed component flow – such as the EMAG InLine System – as well as standard recirculating component conveyors are available
Compared to the traditional solution of a combined turning & gear hobbing machine the VLC 250 WF offers a truly remarkable price-performance ratio
