Our hob cutter’s department found solutions for profiling involute gear cutters in a way, that grinding time is dramatically reduced. However and thanks to our watch industry's experience, quality and precision are kept at a really high level, flirting with what we do get for that market.
We are now well positioned offering micro-technique, car or medical
markets, involute hob cutting tools with watch industry precision whilst competitive price!
Our modules sizes values starts at m 0.02 and goes up to m 1.00. Other modules are also available upon request.
All dimensions are seriously studied. We for instance already produced hob cutters of ø 4.0 mm with a cylindrical shank:
Louis Bélet SA produces hob cutters since about 10 years. Our ORIGIN hob
cutters are well-known and trusted, especially in the Swiss prestige
watchmaking. We are one of the leader on that market!
Hob cutter turns and come to hit the part to be cut, that also turns on
it’s axis. The important point is the rotation ratio between the two
parts and which should be:
Putting correctly machine’s axis position and angle, the cutter generates in that way the correct teeth.
Beware, hob cutting require run-out as minimal as possible!
Mainly used in the watch industry.
NIHS, NHS, EVJ norms (and many other proprietary norms from watch brands) follow cycloids teeth shapes.
Generation hob cutters for cycloid shapes have complex profiles and requires a very high precision. We are talking here about microns!
NIHS profile’s example:
DIN, ISO, AGMA, JIS (and many others) are the norms for involute gearing. These are mainly used in car industry, micro-techniques and general mechanics.
Please note that sometimes, watch industry also use involute norms, mainly proprietary, for their movements' gear-trains.
