Machine and Tool Concepts for Contract Manufacturing

For many years, SPN has been using Liebherr gear shaping machines for workpieces with diameters of up to 300 mm. To absorb production peaks and increase capacities, in 2018 the two existing machines for gear shaping were supplemented by an LS 180 E, which offers a range of benefits: its shaping head is equipped with an electronic helical guide that facilitates frequent workpiece changes.

Nidec Machine Tool Develops Gear Shaping Machine for High-Precision Small-Module Gears Used in Robots

Nidec Machine Tool Corporation recently developed the "SE25FR Plus," a gear shaping machine dedicated to making high-precision small-module gears used in robots. (Note: Module (m) is a unit representing the size of a gear tooth. It is derived by dividing the diameter (mm) of the pitch circle by the number of teeth.) The company simultaneously developed a small-module cutting tool specifically for the new gear shaping machine.

Precision Tools for Micro-Manufacturing

Star SU, the exclusive NA representative for Louis Bélet, expands its portfolio into micro tools as small as 0.05mm and specials down to 0.02mm for Swiss style machining, as well as extended offerings in the area of hobs, skiving tools and fine pitch gear cutting tools as low as module 0.01 or 2,500 DP.
