Helios Gear Products introduces the Helios Hera 150 gear cutting solution from YG Tech. This CNC machine offers compact vertical hobbing for gears up to approximately 150 mm (6 in) diameter.
The gear cutting machine offers advanced technology such as FANUC 0i-MF control, X-axis linear scale for accurate repeatable control of size, work and cutter spindles with direct drive torque motors, automatic retract of X-axis at power failure, and more. The machine includes 6 CNC axes (7 with automation), a 3.5 module (7.3 DP) pitch rating, and 2,500 rpm maximum hob speed.
Additionally, this machine has a radial travel of 180 mm (7.086 in) from 15 mm (0.590 in) to 195 mm (7.677 in) center distance between the work and hob axes, which allows a wide range of part sizes for flexible gear cutting. For long cutting tools, it offers hob shifting up to 180 mm (7.087 in). The machine has a maximum tailstock position of 600 mm (23.622 in) and a total axial travel of 250 mm (9.842 in).
The base package also offers friendly dialog programming with visual examples to accelerate operator training. Operators can enter data on a large color touchscreen panel for cutting one or two gears on a single workpiece using single- or two-cut cycles with radial, axial, climb, or conventional hobbing (or any combination thereof). Additionally, crowning (lead modification) and automatic shifting over a damaged hob section are included. Manufacturers will appreciate the machine’s ease-of-use and how quickly new operators reach productivity.
The machine’s compact enclosure is enveloped at 3.200 m (10.50 ft) wide by 2.190 m (7.19 ft) deep by 2.480 m (8.14 ft) high.
