Frequently Asked Questions

What are typical machine constants for hobbing machines and what are they for?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
All hobbing machines use an Index Constant that synchronizes rotation of the workpiece with the cutter. For example, a 30:1 index constant means that the index change gear ratio is equal to 30/Teeth for a single start cutter cutting a spur gear. With the correct index change gears, a single start cutter will rotate a number of revolutions equal to the teeth on the workpiece while the workpiece makes one complete revolution.

Is the Hobbing Machine Type A?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
If the gear faces are parallel, the Helix Angle is the same for both gears. This means the machine is Type A. Just for information, the gear lead in this case is different for both gears but the helix angles are the same.)

What is the feed constant for my hobbing machine?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Feed formulas are found in the machine's manual or on the machine itself. Table Feed as discussed here is the cutter table feed in a direction parallel to the workpiece centerline. It should not be confused with infeed or tangential feed. While some hobbing machines may be equipped with infeed or tangential feed, all hobbing machines are equipped with Table Feed. Some hobbing machines mark the machine with a whole number indicating feed (let's call it K).

How can I find the differential formula for my hobbing machine?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
There are sources listed in FAQ "Manuals for my Gear Cutting Machinery" that may have the operator's manual you need. Also, the Gear Forum is a good place to ask for this kind of help. If you can't find a source for the differential formula then you can determine the formula for yourself using the following procedure, but you must have a way to measure a gear's lead.

What is a "dial feed" or hydraulic feed hobbing machine?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Some differential hobbing machines do not use feed change gears. These machines use a hydraulic control to advance the cutter through the workpiece. A "dial" is used by the operator to control the amount of feed per revolution of the workpiece.

How is a non-differential hobbing machine set up to cut a spur gear?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
All gear hobbing machines have an Index Constant. This constant, along with the number of teeth to cut and the number of starts in the hob cutter determine the index gear ratio and the index change gears. Some typical Index Constants are: 36, 30, 24, 15, 12, 10, etc. Let's take an example using a single start hob cutter.

How does a non-differential hobbing machine cut helical gears?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
The concept is simple. Let's say the gear to cut is 100 teeth. If it were to be a spur gear (helix angle = 0) then the index gear ratio would be Index Constant divided by teeth. For an index constant = 30, the gear ratio should be 30/100 as shown in the prior topic. Using 30/100 would synchronize the hob to the workpiece so that when the workpiece completes each revolution, the hob would be meshed precisely in the same tooth.

How do you use CPC-HOB to set up a hobbing machine with tangential hob shift?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
If manual or automatic "step" shifting is used, the normal setup is unaffected. Shifting of the hob in this case occurs during the non-cutting part of the work cycle. If continuous tangential hob shift is used, then an adjustment must be made in the lead change gear ratio. In other words, a spur gear could not be cut without a differential action equal and opposite to the continuous hob shift.

Why do I see green bars in the videos on my machine, but not on other machines?

Frequently Asked Questions : Harvard Extension School
The PC graphics card can create this effect on some computers. When this or similar issues occur, access the Preferences menu by right-clicking on the video window, then select the Performance tab. Deselect “Video card compatibility optimization.”

How is this machine different from other exercise machines?

Bowflex Revolution® Home Gyms | FAQs
The resistance technology employed by the Bowflex Revolution® home gym gives the feel of linear plate-loaded machines, but eliminates the bulk and weight. It looks and performs differently from any other machine. The Bowflex Revolution® home gym is sleek and lightweight, yet it can accommodate a 600 lb. (272 kg) leg press. This kind of power is a first for a home gym.

Are you specifying any unnecessary sizes or other constants?

Larch Frequently Asked Questions
To illustrate this checklist, we'll give a really awful example of a specification that isn't abstract enough. It illustrates every fault in the above list. (Of course, you'd never write anything this bad.

Where do you keep all of your machines?

The SNOW BLOWER Shop, FAQ
Many machines are stored in this area. 6' X 6" skids are the basis for these shelters that comfortably house 2 machines each. There is also under cover storage between some of the sheds and those parts machines have an additional tarp over them for protection. In the gararge there are usually about 4 machines waiting for use and that same number waiting for some sort of attention.

Why is your machine better than all these other Rife machines I see?

RIFE FAQ: RIFE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS BY RI...
We have been discussing this in previous questions, but a quick summation can be had at "Difference".

What is a typical delivery time for a coating machine?

PAGENDARM
Delivery times naturally depend on the complexity of a coating machine. Our partner for the production of the mechanical engineering components has 600 employees, which means the delivery period is largely determined by the engineering time. Yes. For production of mechanical assemblies we work on a CIM-like basis. The machinery at our partner company is impressive. Ultra-modern CNC-controlled machine tools are used for machining.

What are the typical payout percentages in regards to online slot machines?

Online Casinos FAQ and Guide to Online Gambling
Again, this will depend on the casino, but the average would be somewhere between 96% and 99%. Because of lower overhead costs the online casino can and will offer better odds for their slot machines than any land-based casino would offer.

John Baez, How Many Fundamental Constants Are There?

Open Questions in Physics
What is the explanation of the Pioneer anomaly? The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft are leaving the the Solar System. Pioneer 10 sent back radio information about its location until January 2003, when it was about 80 times farther from the Sun than the Earth is. Pioneer 11 sent back signals until September 1995, when its distance from the Sun was about 45 times the Earth's. The Pioneer missions have yielded the most precise information we have about navigation in deep space.

Q.20: What is the difference between the Hawkins machine and other EMS machines?

Hawkins International: Frequently asked Questions
All quotations to our website visitors are based on our best ex-factory prices. We are unable therefore, to offer any further discount. The Hawkins Business Plan, the System and the Digital CompuSlim 75 PRO together form a real money making modality. Therefore, one must not look at price but rather at value. Even at double the price you have been quoted, the whole package would still remain a bargain.

How is your machine different from the pod or single-cup machines for home and office use?

Cuppa'Cino Frequently Asked Questions
Our Barista Supremo individually grinds fresh-roasted whole coffee beans for every separate cup ordered. No coffee is pre-ground waiting for an order, much less pre-ground and packaged. Our freshness is unsurpassed. Unlike any other brewer or pod device on the market, our machine prepares its beverages in separate chambers and uses separate dispensing tubes.
