Koepfer America, L.L.C., has introduced the CLC series of heavy-duty, vertical gear hobbing machines to the North American gear manufacturing market. The machines are fully customizable and designed for the gear hobbing of parts 7.874" (200 mm) diameter and larger.

The CLC 200 is rated at 7.874" (200 mm) diameter at 4 DP (mn 6.0) with a maximum axial travel of 13.780" (350 mm). Additional models are available, which provide capability up to 78.740" (2,000 mm) diameter rated at 0.85 DP (mn 30.0) with up to 39.370" (1,000 mm) axial travel. The CLC 200 is designed for large gear markets such as wind energy, oil and gas, truck and tractor, and mining.

"All CLC vertical hobbing machines feature a high-speed hob head with +/-45° of swivel range. These machines also have standard features such as high-speed, direct-drive torque motors for both the work and cutter spindles, FANUC 31i CNC control and optional skiving (carbide re-hobbing) capability with an integrated electronic timing probe," said a company spokesperson.
