Integrating multi-tasking with gear cutting and measurement - the Mazak Integrex i-350H AG performs turning, milling, 5-axis machining and gear machining.
Application : Geared shaft | Material: JIS S45C | Size: Φ150mm x 760mm
Produce gears without a dedicated gear cutting machine
Three gear machining methods - gear skiving, hobbing, and endmilling - are integrated into the Mazak Integrex i-350H AG. It meets production needs ranging from flexible machining using general-purpose end mills, to mass production using specialised tools. Furthermore, gear measurement can be performed in the machine.
Gear skiving
Gear skiving with small-diameter cutters and carbide cutters. High-accuracy gear skiving by unique control technology of the Mazak Integrex AG. The precision of the rotational synchronization between the turning spindle and milling spindle is maintained even at the maximum rotational speed of each spindle.
Hobbing
With intuitive settings, gear cutting is performed using dedicated hob cutters. The gear hob arbor supported on just one side provides ISO class 7 machining accuracy. The "Smooth Gear Hobbing" programming support software includes unique features. "Hob Shift" shifts the hob cutter machining point for each pass to extend the tool life and "Micro Geometry" modifies the point where the gear teeth meet after machining.
Endmilling
You can use commercially available end mills. Using the dedicated software "Smooth Gear Milling", gear teeth can be cut one by one with a standard end mill. The "Tooth Profile Correction Function" and "Tooth Lead Correction Function" modify the machined gear teeth. The functions provides ISO class 5 (former JIS class 1) machining accuracy.
