The operation of a CNC gear hobbing machine involves multiple steps and precautions to ensure a safe and efficient machining process. 

The following are the basic steps and precautions for operating a CNC gear hobbing machine:

1. Preparation work

Select appropriate cutting tools and cutting fluids, and choose the appropriate gear hobbing tool and cutting fluid based on the gear parameters, materials, and requirements of the workpiece to be machined.

Conduct a safety check to ensure that all components of the gear hobbing machine are complete, securely installed, and all circuits are functioning properly.

Clean the surface of the processed workpiece to ensure that it is flat, clean, and free of debris.

2. Operation steps

Fix the processed workpiece on the fixture and adjust the angle to ensure that the workpiece does not bounce or shake during the processing.

Select a gear hobbing tool, choose the appropriate one based on the gear parameters of the workpiece being machined, and install it onto the tool holder.

Equip cutting fluid and inject suitable cutting fluid into the gap between the workpiece and the gear hobbing tool.

Set processing parameters such as depth, speed, and feed rate to ensure processing efficiency and quality.

Start the gear hobbing machine, place the machined workpiece under the tool, and press the start button to start machining.

Check the processing quality, observe the processing quality in a timely manner during the processing, and adjust any problems found in a timely manner.

3. Precautions

Before operation, ensure that the gear hobbing machine is in a safe state and wear protective measures during processing.

Strictly follow the operating procedures and do not operate arbitrarily.

Choose appropriate tools, cutting fluids, and accessories to ensure machining quality.

Ensure that the workpiece does not exceed the edge during the machining process and that the surface of the workpiece is not damaged.

After processing, thoroughly clean the machine, tools, and cutting fluid, and replace faulty parts in a timely manner.

Following these steps and precautions can ensure the safe operation and efficient machining of CNC gear hobbing machines
