This service offers a complete CNC re-control package for existing Koepfer models 160 and 200 gear hobbing machines. This re-control renews the reliability of customers’ existing Koepfer hobbing machines.

The Koepfer Model 200 horizontal gear hobbing machine offers increased flexibility, automation, and quality for the hobbing of fine- to medium-pitch gears. German engineering has developed this model for over 20 years, leading to a machine designed for manufacturing facilities across the globe. Koepfer America will feature a Koepfer Model 200, highlighting its easy setup, quick changeover, flexible automation, and rigid construction.

From Helios Gear Products, Koepfer America will also display the first Ra-Cut fine-pitch carbide hobs, which feature up to double the number of cutting faces on an otherwise like design.
