Horn has developed a technology – together with the associated production process – to enable the machining of defined chamfers. It can be used, for example, to create a 45-degree chamfer on both sides of a module 1 gear with 25 teeth in less than five seconds. A turn-mill centre with synchronised axes is required for this production process. However, users do not need any special workholding equipment. The solid carbide tools can be clamped in a standard collet, or in shrink-fit or hydraulic chucks.
