Gear Honing Machine

Fässler’s HMX-400 Gear Honing Machine, with its large work area, tailstock and integral B-axis, leaves nothing to be desired in gear honing. Shaft components with lengths up to 650 mm, large and heavy workpieces as well as small and complex workpieces can be easily machined with an HMX-400. Loading of the second spindle during production guarantees ultra-short non-productive times for complex workpieces. The integrated double flank roller checker increases process reliability. Roll checker (double flank roller test): an HMX-400 can be fitted with a double flank roller test device that can be integrated into the machine. This reliably monitors the initial qualities of the workpieces and sorts out any workpieces that are outside the initial tolerance. ‘Combi-Honing’ is a process specific to Fässler, which allows two gears, for example, two sets of teeth on a shaft to be machined in one setup without retooling. Two honing stones in the tool spindle (hone drive) as well as the B-axis, which compensates for the off-centre machining of workpieces, ensure reliable results with short cycle times. ‘Super Finishing’ is another ‘Combi-Honing’ application in which a set of teeth can be machined in one set with two different processes (roughing, finishing). The super finishing process results in the very best surface qualities. In addition to the process' high efficiency, honed gears feature a specific surface structure compared to ground gears and thus have considerable advantages as regards noise and wear properties. This surface structure arises through the process kinematics whereby the honing tool and the workpiece roll off against each other at an axis-crossing angle.
