Unique Gearing Solutions for Long Motor Shafts
These sturdy, state-of-the-art hobbing machine are capable of machining long parts, such as pinions and shafts up to 1000 mm long with weights up to 25 kgs. If your operation is looking to replace aging manual hobbing machines, this multi-axis machine is worth considering.
Horizontal Gear Hobbing Machines: KOEPFER K 160 Longbed and Longbed XL
KOEPFER K 160 Longbed Horizontal Gear Hobbing Machine comes with:
- Direct-driven, high-performance drives
- Up to 15 programmable axes
- Horizontally positioned, automatic loading and unloading
Perfect for Job Shops!
- Setup programming for different workpiece geometries is easy and fast – often in less than 15-20 minutes.
- Conversational and block programming modules are available.
- Axes’ positions as well as automation movements are stored for each workpiece, making repetitive tasks easy and precise.
- No matter whether running small or large batches, this machine holds the “size” to the micron. Since it is not subject to a “warm-up” curve, no adjustments are necessary.
- Additional automation options including “lights out” capabilities are available.
