Custom Gear Manufacturing Case Study: Worm Gear for Machine Tool Tables

Guaranteeing high-precision machining and quality using a hob machine equipped with ultra-high precision worms and a gear transmission error measurement device!

This is a product case of a worm gear used for indexing tables in machine tools. Due to its application directly affecting the precision of the processed workpiece, this project required extremely stringent transmission errors and gear strength. It is important to achieve the appropriate machining accuracy for the product, not only in terms of gear precision but also in the dimensions and geometric tolerances of the machining reference surfaces and fitting parts. To address such challenging requests, our company utilizes hob machines equipped with custom-made ultra-high precision worms from manufacturers and gear transmission error measurement devices to achieve high-precision machining and quality assurance. Additionally, for the worm wheel, we have improved strength by using special materials (special high-strength brass) provided by our partner companies, surpassing the strength of commercially available copper alloys. The tooth contact, which is directly related to gear strength, is adjusted and processed by skilled craftsmen in the machining field to suit the specific needs of the customer. Based on past achievements, we extract and understand the critical parts from the provided drawings for assembly and machining, and we grasp the key points for inspection. We are capable of producing high-precision worm gears for tables like the case presented, so please consult with OJIC.
