Hobbing Process Hobbing uses a hobbing machine with two non-parallel spindles, one mounted with a blank workpiece and the other with the hob. The angle between the hobs spindle and the workpieces spindle varies, depending on the type of product being produced. If a spur gear is being produced, then the hob is angled equal to the helix angle of the hob; if a helical gear is being produced then the angle must be increased by the same amount as the helix angle of the helical gear Hobbing Process The two shafts are rotated at a proportional ratio, which determines the number of teeth on the blank; for example, if the gear ratio is 40:1 the hob rotates 40 times to each turn of the blank The hob is then fed up into workpiece until the correct tooth depth is obtained. Finally the hob is fed into the workpiece parallel to the blanks axis of rotation Hob The hob is the cutter used to cut the teeth into the workpiece. It is cylindrical in shape with helical cutting teeth. These teeth have grooves that run the length of the hob, which aid in cutting and chip removal. The cross-sectional shape of the hob teeth are almost the same shape as teeth of a rack gear that would be used with the finished product Assignment No. 2 What is Powder Metallurgy?

The work done in deforming the material to form the chip and that in moving the chip over the tool is almost all converted into heat. Because of very large amount of plastic strain, it is unlikely that more than 1% of work done is stored as elastic energy; the remaining 99% goes to heat the work, tool, and the chip * It is also called as parting or grooving * Faceplate is a circular metal (usually cast iron) plate which fixes to the end of the lathe spindle. The workpiece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-nu
