Frequently Asked Questions
Can VT machining make custom parts to my drawing?
Yes. CNC Gear Hobbing is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What is CNC Gear Hobbing and how is it done?
CNC Gear Hobbing refers to gear hobbing generates gear teeth with a rotating hob synchronized to the workpiece. VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Gear Hobbing?
Achievable tolerances for CNC Gear Hobbing depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. We hold tight, repeatable tolerances appropriate to the feature and material. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
What gear accuracy class can you achieve on ?
Gear accuracy is specified to DIN/AGMA classes appropriate to the application. Profile and lead are controlled so gears run accurately and quietly under load.
