Kinematics of continuous gear hobbing invented by Pfauter

In 1897 Robert Hermann Pfauter patented the continuous gear hobbing process utilizing worm-type cutting hobs. Machine kinematics maintain strict angular synchronization between the revolving hob cutter and the workpiece blank.

For every single rotation of a single-start hob, the gear blank advances by exactly one tooth pitch. Coordinated vertical slide motion generates an accurate involute profile across the entire face width.

Modern Gleason-Pfauter / Gleason-Pfauter Maschinenfabrik GmbH machine platforms feature direct-drive torque motors on tool and table spindles, eliminating mechanical dividing worm drives and preventing transmission pitch inaccuracies.

High-speed dry gear hobbing with carbide cutting tools

Dry gear hobbing technology on Genesis series platforms eliminates liquid cutting fluids, lowering operational expenses and eliminating environmental disposal burdens. High cutting speeds attained with carbide insert hobs concentrate generated heat within the outgoing metal chips.

Mineral composite machine beds and steep thermo-symmetrical guideway slopes accelerate gravitational chip evacuation away from the cutting zone.

This design avoids uneven thermal buildup around the spindle headstock and guarantees dependable tooth flank geometry during continuous automotive gear production runs.

Closed-loop rigidity during continuous profile gear grinding

Finish grinding of hardened gear flanks demands exceptional dynamic stiffness throughout the machine, fixture, tool, and workpiece loop.

Gleason-Pfauter / Gleason-Pfauter Maschinenfabrik GmbH GX series threaded wheel grinders feature substantial machine structures that absorb micro-vibrations during wheel engagement. Direct-drive grinding spindles sustain commanded rotational velocities under fluctuating chip loads.

Integrated CNC dressing systems equipped with diamond discs restore worm thread profiles, achieving surface finish values within fractions of a micrometer.

Crossed-axis geometry in high-rate Power Skiving operations

Power Skiving relies on continuous generating engagement with crossed spatial axes between tool spindle and workpiece blank. The axis intersection angle introduces an axial relative velocity that cuts tooth gaps rapidly in spur and helical gears.

On Gleason-Pfauter / Gleason-Pfauter Maschinenfabrik GmbH machines, high-resolution electronic gearboxes synchronize spindle rotation within fractions of an arcsecond.

The method enables productive machining of internal ring gears located in close proximity to interfering shoulders in transmission parts.

Hydrostatic rotary bearings and direct-drive work tables

Heavy-duty Titan series gear hobbing tables bear multi-ton axial weights from large blanks alongside substantial radial forces from heavy-module hobs. Hydrostatic circular bearing ways supply a continuous oil film of controlled pressure, preventing metal contact wear and reducing breakaway friction.

Backlash-free torque motors deliver smooth acceleration and precise rotational indexing. High-precision angular encoders provide closed-loop feedback to the CNC system, ensuring sub-micron rotational repeatability.

Arbor balancing and damping in LeCount expanding tooling fixtures

Gear positioning repeat accuracy during finish machining depends on radial runout within workholding tooling.

Gleason-Pfauter / Gleason-Pfauter Maschinenfabrik GmbH LeCount hydraulic mandrels and expanding collets generate uniform radial pressure throughout workpiece bore lengths without distorting thin-walled gear rims.

Fixture construction maintains mass symmetry under rapid rotational speeds, suppressing centrifugal forces and harmonic oscillations to protect cumulative pitch accuracy.
