What's New at The Gear Works

The Gear Works adds more CNC gear hobbing capacity !

The Gear Works is proud to announce the commissioning of additional capacity and productivity in its mid-range gear cutting department with the installation of a Mitsubishi CNC gear hobbing machine, model GB100CNC. Now, gears up to 39” diameter can be cut in small order quantities with the same efficiencies as large lot production. The 33,000-pound machine consists of a robust cast iron frame that insures maximum rigidity when aggressive feed rates are employed. A Fanuc CNC controller insures the accurate synchronization of all five machine axis, including "crowning" capabilities.

Our New Mitsubishi CNC Hobber
The pre-grind gear cutting operation required less than 72 minutes to
complete on this 27” diameter, 125 tooth, 4.9 D.P., helical turbine gear.

The Gear Works achieves continuous quality improvement and customer satisfaction by utilizing world class tools and employing
first class talent. Next time, when it has to be right, give us a call.
