CNC GEAR HOBBING MACHINES
Precision, flexibility, and productivity are the benefits you get from these compact cutting-machines for gear hobbing applications based on customised numerical control.
Entirely developed and manufactured in house by our engineers, our range of CNC Hobbing machines is able to improve your production requirements and help you serve microtechnology sectors.
Used in servo motors and by the watchmaking, aircraft, automotive, micromechanics, robotics, and dentistry industries, our CNC Hobbing machines for cutting microtechnology gears are noted for their productivity, precision, and innovation.

Solutions for numerical controls
We offer you a complete turnkey solution.
More than ever, customization is essential that’s why our BECKHOFF integration software solution for CNC machines and PLC automation is no exception to the rule, quite the contrary.
Integrate an existing BECKHOFF solution into a CNC production machine, such as bar turning machines, cutters, milling machines or other production units. You just have to customize the digital control as well as the HMI control software according to your needs.
It’s more than a skill – it is real expertise.
