A variety of sizes and types of gears are used in vehicle production. Most gears are made of carbon steel, so chip control will be an important issue when machining gears that have not been heat treated on fully automatic production lines. When gears are processed after heat treatment, hard cutting tools must be used to eliminate grinding processes and reduce production costs. IKEN offers all-material PCBN inserts for machining hardened gears. PCBN blades with broken grooves provide high machining efficiency and a long service life.

Processing problems

In the reliable intermittent and continuous processing at the same time, minimize the processing time

Ensures the efficiency of hard cutting during intermittent finishing of end faces and synchronous gear cones

It has excellent short chip ability and ensures processing stability in mixed working conditions

1 - Cylindrical continuous processing

Solution: IKEN Superhard integral CBN blades with superior wear resistance increase the processing life while providing excellent processing stability. The fine-grained IKN4500 and IKN1000 blades also provide excellent wear resistance and stability for continuous finishing of hardened steel (hardness HRC55-64).
