Machining accuracy and efficiency
The efficiency of gear milling is influenced by workpiece material, workpiece hardness, process fixture systems, cutting tools, gear module, etc. Machining efficiency depends on feed rate and insert life.
Soft tooth surface machining (workpiece hardness HB < 360)
Feed rate: 300-400 mm/min; Standard coated inserts.
Hard-tooth-surface machining (workpiece hardness HB 360-450)
Feed rate: 200-300 mm/min;
Special coating on inserts;
Multi-tool machining is recommended to reduce insert wear, allowing further increases in workpiece hardness.
Milling cutter heads are primarily used for milling straight and helical gears with medium to large modules. They are widely applied in the manufacturing of construction machinery, mining equipment, wind power equipment, heavy duty gearboxes, and industrial transmission gears.
The cutter body is machined from a single piece of high strength alloy steel and undergoes heat treatment to ensure stability and durability. The inserts are made of cemented carbide, offering excellent wear resistance and impact toughness. The cutter head can be customized for different gear modules, tooth profiles, and machine tool interfaces, with adjustable outer diameter, insert count, and mounting specifications. It is compatible with CNC gear hobbing machines, heavy duty machining centers, and similar equipment.

| Material |
Cutter body made of high strength alloy steel (such as 42CrMo), heat treated for rigidity and durability; equipped with indexable carbide inserts for high wear resistance and stable cutting performance. |
Indexable insert structure, cost effective
Utilizes standard indexable carbide inserts. Inserts can be directly replaced upon wear without regrinding the body, significantly reducing tooling costs and making it suitable for mass production.
High rigidity body for heavy duty cutting
The monolithic cutter body is manufactured from high strength alloy steel, featuring a robust, heavy duty structure with excellent rigidity. It withstands large cutting depths and high feed rates, making it ideal for heavy load gear milling applications.
High machining efficiency with simultaneous multi-tooth cutting
Multiple inserts evenly distributed around the cutter enable simultaneous cutting engagement, significantly increasing metal removal rates. Particularly suitable for roughing and semi finishing of gears.
