Mechanism and Kinematic Relation of a CNC Hob-
bing Machine 
A 6-axis CNC hobbing machine can be used to manufacture 
different types of gears owing to the movement of its axes with 
multi-degree of freedom. The generation process of gears by 
applying a CNC hobbing machine is quite complex. Figure 1 
presents a schematic drawing of a 6-axis CNC hobbing machine, 
where axes X, Y and Z are the radial axis, the tangential axis, 
and the axial axis, respectively; axes A, B and C are the hob 
swivel axis, the hob spindle axis and the work table axis, respec-
tively. However, in today's CNC hobbing machines, axes A and 
Y are for set-up only and rotational ratio between axes B and C 
is a constant. Some machines allow an interrelationship between 
axes X and Z; therefore, today's CNC hobbing machines are 3-
axis machines. The proposed 6-axis hobbing machine may be 
built in the future. Figure 2 illustrates the kinematic relationship 
among those axes. Coordinate system St,{Xh, K;, , Z/,) is attached 
to the hob cutter while coordinate system Sp(Xp, Yp, Zp) is 
attached to the work piece which is cut by the hob cutter. 
Coordinate system Sf(Xf, Yf, Z/) is the fixed coordinate system 
attached to the machine housing and coordinate system Sr(Xr, 
Yr, Zr) is the reference coordinate system, cj),, and 4>p are rotatio
angles of the hob cutter and gear blank, respectively; and F is 
the setting angle of hob cutter. Also, kinematic relation between 
different coordinate systems can be obtained by applying coor-
dinate transformation matrix equations. The transformation ma-
trix [My] transforms the coordinates from coordinate system 
Sj(Xj, Yj, Zj) to Si{X,, Fj, Zj). Based on the relationship in 
Fig. 2, matrices [M,*], [M/-r], and [M,,/] can be represented as 
follows:
