CNC gear machining

CNC gear machining is a crucial process in modern industry, ensuring precision and reliability in the production of essential components for mechanical transmissions and complex movements. With Robofeed’s robotic solutions, our customers can count on accurate, automated and highly efficient machining.

What is CNC gear machining?

CNC gear machining uses computer numerical control machines to produce gears with high geometric precision. This process makes it possible to produce gears of various types, such as spur, helical, bevel, and worm gears, ensuring uniform and repeatable results, even for complex geometries and high-strength applications.

CNC machines make it possible to precisely control every step of the process, from cutting to finishing, ensuring that each gear meets tight tolerances and specific technical parameters.

What is CNC gear machining used for?

CNC gear machining is used to produce essential components in a wide variety of industries, from industrial machinery to vehicles to power plants.

CNC gears find use in mechanical transmissions, gearboxes, lifting and motion systems, as well as many other mechanical applications that require precise and reliable operation.

Thanks to the precision of CNC machining, high-quality gears can be obtained, reducing error margins and ensuring perfect compatibility between the various parts of a system.

The advantages of CNC gear machining

  • PRECISION AND RELIABILITY
    CNC machines enable the production of gears with very tight tolerances, ensuring maximum precision for applications where even small deviations can compromise operation.

  • REPEATABILITY AND CONSISTENT QUALITY
    Numerical control ensures that each gear is produced to the same parameters, resulting in uniform and consistent quality, regardless of complexity or production volume.

  • REDUCTION IN MACHINING TIME
    Through automation, the CNC machining process optimizes production time, reducing setup time and minimizing manual intervention.

How to optimize the process?

To optimize CNC gear machining, it is essential to correctly configure the cutting parameters according to the material and type of gear to be produced. The use of proper tooling and advanced machining techniques can improve the speed and quality of the process.

Robofeed offers CNC automation solutions that integrate intelligent control systems to monitor every step of the machining process, reducing downtime and ensuring optimal results.

In addition, our systems are designed to quickly change tools and adapt to different types of gears, thus improving operational flexibility.

Industrial applications

CNC gear machining finds application in numerous industries, first and foremost the metalworking industry, through:

In the metalworking industry, precision in gear manufacturing is critical to ensure the long life and reliability of mechanical systems.

RoboFeed’s CNC solutions are used by many companies to improve productivity and reduce machining costs, ensuring the highest quality in their products.

Spiral Ingranaggi Srl

Spiral Ingranaggi Srl of Padua, Italy, for example, has integrated our RoboFeed A30 Plug&Play into its fleet along with a custom RoboFeed C20 solution, so as to optimize the loading and unloading process of its existing Gleason hobbing machine.

CNC gear machining: the RoboFeed services

RoboFeed provides advanced automation solutions for CNC gear machining, customized to our customers' needs.

With our robotic and integrated CNC systems, you can automate every step of production, minimizing human intervention and improving accuracy..We design RoboFeed Custom branded solutions, such as the RoboFeed C20 chosen by Spiral: a FANUC CRX-10iA/L cobot mounted on a floor-mounted pedestal, positioned to the side of the machine for easy maintenance and retooling. A trolley acts as a mobile magazine with retractable legs and “zero points,” allowing for quick and accurate repositioning and enabling operators to safely pick up parts without interrupting the production cycle.

RoboFeed is your company's innovation solution.
