GBH18 Horizontal CNC gear hobbing machine for parts up to 180mm OD

Designed for long shaft hobbing, the GBH18 is a five axis CNC horizontal hobbing machine. The 100mm through hole in the work spindle can accommodate extra long shaft parts. (Not compatible with hydraulic work holding).

5-axis CNC controlled machine. (hob spindle is 6th axis)
Ideal for cutting shaft gears and splines because of wide center distance,
up to 43.7" (1,110 mm).
Up to 80% reduction in set-up and changeover times, compared to
conventional type
All cutting conditions are automatically calculated by "MENU"
programming, including feeds, speeds, and hob shift start and finish.
No index or differential change gears.
Equalized hob wear maintained due to automatic hob shift
Crowing and taper gears can be done easily with CNC.
Both radial and axial axes are controlled by AC servo motors
Maintains high accuracy due to high thermal stability.
