Gear hobbing machines have a high degree of automation and can achieve continuous and high-speed machining of gears. Compared to traditional cutting methods, gear hobbing machines have higher production efficiency, which helps to reduce production costs. The gear hobbing machine adopts rolling cutting method, which generates less cutting heat, so it will not produce heat treatment effects such as quenching and annealing on the gear surface. This can ensure the surface quality of the gears and prevent the occurrence of cracks and fatigue.

Gear hobbing machines can be divided into two types according to layout: vertical and horizontal. Large and medium-sized gear hobbing machines are mostly vertical, while small gear hobbing machines and gear hobbing machines specifically designed for processing long shaft gears are both horizontal. Vertical gear hobbing machines are divided into two types: worktable movement and column movement. In practical applications, choose the appropriate type of gear hobbing machine based on processing requirements and workpiece characteristics.
