Hobbing is a manufacturing process which is used in order to cut tooth type geometries. Hobbing is a significant industrial process for gear manufacturing. The process is carried out by means of a hobbing machine with two skew spindles, one of these spindles is mounted with the hob while the other is mounted with a blank workpiece. Hobbing is used to make different types of finished gears such as helical gears, splines, spur gears, sprockets, and so on.
Hobbing machines or hobbers, as they are usually known, are fully automated machines. Since the hobbers are required to manufacture gears of different sizes ranging from tiny instrument gears to large marine gears, they are offered in different sizes. A hobbing machine consists of a chuck, which holds the workpiece, a drive motor, and a hob mounted on a spindle. A hob is a cylindrical shaped cutting tool that cuts teeth into the workpiece.
