500 D-Drive – Gear hobbing machine
The machine is mounted on a solid cast iron base. Headstock and tailstock guideways are mounted on the same level. The synchronized work spindles on the headstock and tailstock are identical. The double drive system allows driving the work piece with less tailstock pressure. This is minimizing the distortion of the machine. Other advantages are the precise concentricity of the work holding as well as the very good rotary drive performance on work pieces which are difficult to clamp.
The longitudinal-, the shift- and plunge axis are high dynamic linear drives. Its performance has a positive impact on the cycle time and the reduction of the auxiliary time.
The synchronized spindles can be equipped with adapters, W12 collets, retractable arbors, or customer specific work holding. Existing work holding from Wahli-machines can be used. The collet and the retractable arbor are pneumatic controlled.
The CNC-tailstock clamping pressure can reach up to 500 N, torque controlled. Below 150 N, the clamping pressure is generated by spring load.
The CNC-shift axis is integrated in the hob head and has a travel distance of 30 mm. The high performance synchronized hobbing spindle run up to 12’00 rpm. Bore type- and shaft type hobs with a diameter up to 32 mm can be mounted. The swivel angle on the hob is manually adjustable within a range of ± 10 °.
The integrated safety features of the CNC-control allow the drives to remain switched on, whilst the operator door is open.
