Horizontal Gear Hobbing Machines

EMAG's flexible CLC Series H horizontal gear hobbing machines are capable of running wet or dry and additionally offer optional equipment for skiving, single-part milling, measuring, deburring and chamfering.

The stable structure of the CLC 260 H features hand-scraped tangential axes and includes a table and milling head equipped with direct-driven axes. Since the workpiece is mounted horizontally and the hob is mounted vertically, this type of hobbing machine works well for cutting external gears and splines. Its horizontal configuration also means set-up and changeover from one workpiece to the next is easy and flexible, making these machines suitable for machining high volumes of individual parts or small series.

"The machine has lots of options and variants that can be customized according to the requirements of the customer," said Claudio Montanari, Head of Production at EMAG SU. "One cut, ready for treatment. One pass."

The CLC 260-H can handle a workpiece with a diameter of up to nearly 10.25" and a maximum length of just under 71". A larger machine, the CLC 500 H, can handle a 19.5" part that can be 78.74" or 118" long. An optional spindle attachment installed on the milling head enables worm shafts milling.

Machines in the CLC Series H can also be set up for automated functioning and has a steady rest that can support an additional axis. In addition, the hobbing head can tip up to 45°, plus or minus, to avoid any collisions. EMAG's tailor-made automation solutions help ensure the entire production process is quicker, more cost effective and less prone to error. Available solutions range from TrackMotion, stacking cells and robotic pick and place or a combination. Each of these automation solutions come from a single source and adapted precisely to meet the needs of the customer.
