Dry hobbing is a useful method in order to reduction of production costs of gears, and to reduction of pollutions. However, the dry hobbing tends to increase the cutting temperature and to reduce the life of tool. To solve these problems, we have produced a new hobbing method called a vibration hobbing. The vibration hobbing can reduce the cutting temperature, however, this property is only qualitatively confirmed. In this study, we measure the temperature of chips during the vibration hobbing by radiation thermometer. As a result, we show that the temperature of chips of the vibration hobbing decrease about 6-15% in comparison with the conventional dry hobbing, quantitatively.
