What Is a Gear Shaper?

The gear processing machine is a machine tool that processes various spur gears, bevel gears and other toothed parts. There are various specifications of gear processing machine tools, including small machine tools that process gears with a diameter of a few millimeters, large machine tools that process gears with a diameter of more than ten meters, and high-efficiency machine tools for mass production and high-precision machine tools that process precision gears. Gear processing machine tools are widely used in various machinery manufacturing industries such as automobiles, tractors, machine tools, construction machinery, mining machinery, metallurgical machinery, petroleum, instruments, aircraft and spacecraft.

Ancient gears were shaped by hand. In 1540, when Toriano in Italy manufactured clocks, he made a gear cutting device using a rotary file; in 1783, Rene in France made a gear processing machine using a milling cutter, with cutting racks and internal gears. Gear accessories; around 1820, White made the first machine in the UK that could process both cylindrical and bevel gears. Machine tools with this performance developed again in the second half of the 19th century.

There are many types of gear processing machine tools with different structures:

According to the type of gear being processed, gear processing machine tools can be divided into two categories: cylindrical gear processing machine tools-hobbing machines, gear shapers, turning gears, etc.

Bevel gear processing machine tools-processing straight bevel gears: gear planing machine, gear milling machine, gear pulling machine. Machining curved bevel gear: gear milling machine. Processing tooth line shape is extended involute: bevel gear milling machine. Finishing gear tooth surface: honing machine, shaving machine and gear grinding machine.

Gear processing machine tools are mainly divided into cylindrical gear processing machine tools and bevel gear processing machine tools. Cylindrical gear processing machine tools are mainly used to process various cylindrical gears, racks and worm gears. Gear hobbing machines, gear shaping machines, gear milling machines, and shaving machines are commonly used.

Gear processing machine tools are widely used in automobile, tractor, machine tool, engineering machinery, mining machinery, metallurgical machinery, petroleum, instrumentation, aircraft and spacecraft and other machinery manufacturing industries.
