The H 80/140/200 series is the latest version of our hobbing machine line for small automotive applications, specially engineered for automotive applications. These machines have been designed for dry cutting applications in particular, though using oil or emulsion is no problem. Chips are conveyed cleanly from the work area by means of a chute, which is steep and smooth in design to prevent any build up. The hob head is housed within the tool column, which is tightly fastened to the sturdy machine bed. The tailstock is located on the tool column above the hob head, leaving the work area remarkably free for workpiece loading and unloading operations. To cater for your line automation needs, the machine is available with a standard, direct-driven double gripper loader. Placing a machine in close proximity to your workpiece conveyor belt, in fact, requires no further automation other than that provided by the completely integrated solution. All peripheral units are easily accessible and maintenance-friendly (including pneumatics, hydraulics, electrics and chip disposal).

The machines can either be used as high-speed mass production tools or as power houses to obtain high-torque cutting performances, thanks to the different drive variants available. Moreover, the direct drive technology incorporated in this series makes your machine a safe investment over time, since any future tool developments can be fully exploited.

Fast and easy operator guidance throughout the whole process is guaranteed by the latest Siemens Sinumerik 840 D dialogue software, and the possibility to make flexible tooth flank and crowned root corrections, ensuring optimum roughing results for pre-shave, pre-grind or pre-hone applications, deserves a special word of mention.
