EMAG to give live demonstration of vertical gear hobbing machine VL 4 H at EMO
The design of the VL 4 H vertical gear hobbing machine draws from EMAG’s modular concept. At its core are high-performance drives for high-speed operation of the work spindle and the hobbing unit allowing gears with a diameter of up to 200 mm and module 4 to be dry-hobbed in just a short time. The machine’s vertical design prevents the formation of chip clusters since the chips fall directly into the chip conveyor, and, characteristic for EMAG, its pick-up principle ensures short idle times. Like all modular machines, the VL 4H has a pick-up spindle that removes the component from the conveyor belt and transports it to the tailstock, where the tailstock flange provides it very rigid support. After hobbing, the pick-up spindle removes the component from the machining area. This integrated automation concept assures high availability.
