The Hamai N40 High-Rigidity (HR) horizontal gear hobbing machine (developed in 2024) is a refinement of the earlier Hamai N40 hobber first produced in 1988. Featuring a more robust design with more mass in the hob head, spindle and work table, these machines were developed to address challenging DRY cutting applications with high-hardness, heat treated materials. As a result of these new design features, the N40HR-DRY machine is rated with a higher Module size and is much more capable where DRY cutting is required using carbide hobbing tools. Featuring higher horsepower motors with greater torque, this machine pushes the envelope where tougher materials meet coarser pitches.
The N40HR-DRY machine comes configured with more standard components than it's earlier brother the Hamai N40 such as:
-6 Axes of CNC Control (see below for details).
-Standard A-Axis NC Control.
-More standard software features including lead crowning/taper forms.
Featuring direct-drive work and cutter spindles as well as optional synchronized counter spindles these machines are ideal for WET or DRY operations for cutting gears up to 1.25 Module / 20.32 DP. Coupled with the reliable Fanuc Series 31i CNC controls and drive system with conversational data input these machines are ideal for production & job shop environments.
Heavy duty design & construction make these machines absolutely ideal for high accuracy requirements on smaller gears. With various loading system options as well as optional skiving hobbing systems for hardened gears, these machines will be a welcome addition to your high-precision hobbing machine stable and will elevate your production to a whole new level.
Known for their heavy-duty construction, Hamai horizontal hobbers are known in tight circles for their high accuracy and stability in production applications. In many cases, gears are produced with similar AGMA quality levels as ground gears. As a stable platform for DRY cutting, these compact machines can be configured for dedicated or flexible production scenarios and can even be kitted out for skive hobbing of hardened gears.
The N40HR model is the BASE model and comes equipped for the US Market with Options added (and available Options) per below.
