Now a days, gear manufacturing industry need a CNC hobbing machine for accurate gear production. If industries have conventional hobbing machine than conversion of conventional gear hobbing machine in to CNC machine with programmable logic controller and servo mechanism for better production of gear is economic and easy. By using PLC in gear hobbbing following transformations has done. In hardware transformations, to minimizes the defects of traditional gear hobbing transmission: use of more motor driving mode control process; replacement of middle transmission mechanism; direct connection of motor shaft for movement; reduce transmission error so as to improve the machining accuracy. For better control, adopted the sensors to follow movement process; use of PLC & feedback better control process. Enhancing the function of gear-hobbing after reforming, adopt MCP man-machine interface for exchange. After transformation in gear hobbing machine the test results show that computerized numerical control transformation, helps improve efficiency, accuracy, life span of old machine and minimizes complexity for the operator.
