Easy multitasking for gears
Highly accurate gear cutting achieved with multitasking machines and 5-axis machining centers.
Output programs just by entering the gear data.
- Production floor issues
- Gear cutting requires expensive dedicated machines
-
- • Gears that require multitasking operations are on the rise.
- • Subcontractors with special-purpose equipment being relied on.
- • Workpiece changes for dedicated machines cause setup changes with many work-hours and high costs.
- • Skilled part programming required for gear cutting.
- User benefits
- Gear cutting easy with multitasking machines
-
- • Expensive special-purpose machines not required for gear cutting.
- • Whole part done-in-one setup.
- • Auto gear programming from tool spec inputs.
- • Process-intensive application reduces setup changes and machining wait times.
Easy output of gear part programs
Different gear types made it difficult to create programs because tool cutting conditions, paths (number of passes, directions), angles, and positions were also different.
Okuma's Gear Machining Package solves these problems.
