Gear Shaping Services: Internal & Cluster Gears Machined to Spec
Gear hobbing gets most of the attention, but when the tooth geometry lives on the inside of a ring, or several gears share one blank, hobbing simply cannot reach it. That is where gear shaping earns its place. A shaping cutter—essentially a gear-shaped hob with reciprocating motion—cuts internal teeth, cluster gears and shoulders that a […]
Micro Machining Services: Sub-Millimeter Metal Parts With Micron Tolerances
Micro machining services make metal parts small enough to sit inside a catheter, with tolerances tighter than the diameter of a red blood cell. The working definition in industry is machining features below about 1 mm using cutting tools under 0.5 mm in diameter, holding tolerances in the single-digit micron range. At that scale the […]
Gear Hobbing Services: Precision Spur, Helical and Worm Gears on Demand
Gear hobbing is still the most productive way to cut external gear teeth, more than a century after the process was industrialised. A helical cutter called a hob rotates in timed synchronisation with the workpiece and feeds axially through it, generating tooth after tooth in one continuous pass. There is no indexing, no dwell, and […]
