New Feature Launch @ IMTEX
The Future of Gear Manufacturing Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here
In manufacturing, precision isn’t just a technical requirement; it’s a promise. A commitment to quality, efficiency, and progress. But upholding that promise isn’t always easy. Temperature fluctuations affect accuracy, unnecessary steps slow production, and rising costs make efficiency more critical than ever.
At IMTEX 2025, we introduced cutting-edge features in our CNC gear hobbing machines designed to tackle these challenges:
Automatic Thermal Compensation – Precision Without Interruption
Even the slightest temperature changes can affect machining accuracy, leading to defects. Our system continuously monitors and adjusts for these variations for flawless precision through:
- Real-time temperature monitoring with sensors
- Mathematical modeling to predict thermal expansion
- Automated adjustments to maintain accuracy
The result? Consistent precision, no matter the conditions.
Hard Hobbing/Skiving – Faster, Smarter, More Efficient
Traditional gear manufacturing often requires secondary operations like shaving, adding unnecessary time and cost. Hard hobbing eliminates this step, making it ideal for:
- Complex gear geometries where grinding isn’t an option
- Steering pinions requiring high-profile precision
- Near-net shape blanks, such as forged gears
This means shorter cycle times, lower costs, and exceptional accuracy.
Dry Hobbing – Sustainable and Cost-Effective
Coolant oil is costly, messy, and harmful to both workers and the environment. Dry hobbing removes this problem altogether by:
- Eliminating coolant usage, reducing costs
- Enhancing productivity with higher cutting speeds
- Creating a cleaner, safer workspace, minimizing worker exposure to oil mists
With higher spindle capacity, enhanced thermal stability, and optimized chip disposal, dry hobbing is leading the way in eco-friendly, high-performance gear manufacturing.
Our Experience at IMTEX 2025
Being part of IMTEX 2025 was more than just an opportunity to showcase technology—it was a privilege to engage with the industry, meet those who shape its future, and play a role in its continuous evolution.
Throughout the event, we had the honor of connecting with long-standing customers, forging new business relationships, and exchanging ideas with industry veterans.
What stood out the most was the conversations—the real-world challenges shared by manufacturers, the need for smarter solutions, and the drive to make processes better, faster, and more sustainable. Nimble Machines remains committed to not just listening, but actively responding to these challenges with innovation that makes a tangible difference.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our stall, shared their insights, and believed in our vision. This is just the beginning. With continued collaboration, breakthrough technology, and a shared passion for progress, we look forward to shaping the next chapter of manufacturing—together.
