Since 1867 quality remains number one

Koepfer has served the fine to medium pitch gear industry for almost 150 years. We offer hobbing machines, automation systems, tooling, cutting tools, and hob sharpening machines, as well as the necessary support for the parallel axis gear industry.

Hobbing machines

Koepfer hobbing machines are designed to accommodate parts up to 7.087" (180 mm) in diameter. Our machines are also capable of producing parts with low numbers of teeth as well as parts with extremely high helix angles. All Koepfer machines offer high speed spindles as well as wet or dry cutting capability. Our new model MZ120 machine brings CNC hobbing to the fine pitch market.

Automation

Koepfer offers the most flexible automation in the industry. Our standard automation can handle small pinion type gears, bore parts up to 4.75" (120 mm) in diameter, and shafts up to 23.62" (600 mm) on our extended bed machine.

Hob sharpening

Our new Koepfer Model KFS100.3 hob sharpening machine offers 4 axes of CNC control for the sharpening of straight gash hobs of HSS or carbide material at AGMA "AAA" quality. With a reduced footprint, a new vertical, high-speed direct drive grinding spindle with 12,000 RPM, the KFS 100.3 provides easy and accurate hob sharpening.

Additionally, Koepfer offers its own hob sharpening service. Sharpening of hobs up to 4.000" in diameter and 8.000" in length can be offered for carbide or high speed steel. Recoating of hobs is available with TiN, TiCN, or TiAIN. Rush service is also available.

Tooling

Koepfer manufactures all of the fixtures used on our machines, to provide the highest precision.

Cutting tools

We offer the industry's highest quality cutters. Koepfer cutting tools are manufactured in Class B to Class AAA from high speed steels, powdered metals and carbide materials. Our new line of precision hobs from Saazor offers solid or segmented hobs form 3.0 module (8 DP) to 20.0 module (1.27 DP).
