(Hobs with a Rake Angle)
By Program input, the grinding wheel offset amount is automatically calculated and positioned depending on the hob rake angle.
(Carbide Hobs with a Negative Rake Angle)
Hobs ranging from +10 to -45 degrees of rake angle (equivalent to +20 mm~-90 mm of the offset amount) can be mounted and sharpened. Skiving hobs that require a large negative offset amount can be easily set.
Prior to the sharpening process, the grinding wheel is positioned between 2 flutes of the hob by manual. The grinding wheel face is then automatically positioned against hob face to be ground.
Program input is easily performed via conversation type programming. Also, a built-in PC type NC device and 10.4 inch color liquid crystal panel are utilized in the KG253L.
