Gear hobbing machine is a metal cutting machine tool that uses a gear hobbing cutter to machine internal and external 

spur and helical cylindrical gears, as well as other gear shaped parts, using the generation method.

The method of using a gear cutter as a tool to process the tooth profile of gears, racks, etc. is called "gear shaping". 

When inserting gears, the gear cutter performs a reciprocating cutting motion up and down, while rolling relative to the workpiece.

The gear hobbing machine is mainly used for processing multiple gears and internal gears, and can also process gear racks after adding accessories. 

Using specialized cutting tools on gear hobbing machines can also process non circular gears

Incomplete gears and internally and externally formed surfaces, such as square holes, hexagonal holes,

 keyed shafts (where keys are integrated with the shaft), etc. The machining accuracy can reach 7-5 levels, and the maximum workpiece diameter can reach 12 meters
