The FFG Werke Modul H200 vertical hobbing machine, part of the H 80-200 series, is the latest version of Star SU's hobbing machine line for automotive as well as job shop applications. The optional automatic high-speed part changer is especially engineered for automotive applications with less than 2 seconds chip-to-chip time. These machines have been designed for dry cutting applications in particular, although using oil or emulsion is not a problem. Chips are conveyed immediately from the work area by means of steep and smooth stainless steel glad chutes to prevent any build up. The hob head is housed within the tool column, which is tightly fastened to the sturdy machine bed. The CNC tailstock is located on the counter column and cross bar above the hob head, leaving the work area free for workpiece loading and unloading operations.
Star SU offers a wide variety of gear cutting tools, precision tool re-sharpening services and advanced coatings from Oerlikon Balzers, including Alcrona Pro and BALANIT ALTENSA, the high-speed coating solution.
Star SU will also feature its scudding cutters manufactured to produce gear and spline teeth for reduced cycle times and tool costs.
