In the recent days, I "picked up" a gear hobbing machine.
Made in East Germany, 1968.
It is capable to cut gears from Zmin 6 till it fits into the geometry, the basic tables run up to Z200
Modul: 0,5-2,5 (the given table goes till 2,75, but it can surely cut up to 3,0)
It has a differential gear also, so it can generate helical and worm gears. It still has the "normal" and the "tangential" hob holder too.
I received the full original manual also, what I scanned already.
I must get used to the German language more, so I can get better understanding in the use of this beauty.
For example, if I am not mistaken, this table is shows that there is a switchable gear in the gearset, what locks the differential:
I must sell one of my lathes, to free up space for this machine. Right now it is at a machine dealer, not far from me.
The next thing is to clean, and loosen up the machine parts. The dealer is my friend, and he let me do the cleanup and maitenance at his place thankfully.
