With Higher Speed, Precision and Efficiency

New hobbing machine “GE15HS” was developed to target high speed machining mainly for mass production of automobile and motorcycle industries.

The high-speed, high-torque direct-drive motor for the main cutting spindle provides a maximum spindle speed of 6,000 min-1, three times faster than previous models.
Processing with the use of carbide cutting tools yields a surface roughness of less than Ra0.4, on a par with gear grinding. Further, the GE15HS provides process efficiency, eliminating the finishing process of shaving prior to heat treatment, improving productivity and reducing processing cost.
To minimize heat deformation and stable accuracy under continuous & high speed machining, it equips cooling system for main spindle and table, high precision MP scale in radial (X) axis and controls in full closed loop system.

A new proposal for chamfering without burrs.
High-precision chamfering quality.

Newly developed chamfering machine in response to the growing need for higher precision chamfering of gears.
It is possible to get the high-precision chamfering quality by using cutting tool design simulation and dedicated chamfering cutter that is released at the same time.
Secondary burrs are eliminated on both the tooth surface side and the end surface side, achieving excellent finished surface quality.
At the venue, machining and automated movements using collaborative robots were demonstrated. You can imagine the appearance introduced in the production line.

Gear Grinding Evolution: the EV shift and reduction of gear noise

Due to the impact of the EV Shift, the need for high precision gear grinding techinology is increasing more and more, such as complex tooth flank shapes and various analyses.
Our ZE-C series of gear grinding machines has delivered more than 500 units in and out of Japan since its launch.　We focus on new various functions and technologies that support the EV shift at JIMTOF 2022.
We will also exhibit new functions that consider the environment and operators, such as achieving mass production for generating gear grinding using water soluble coolant (world first) and the "closed-loop system" for the correction by using gear measureament data.
