Hobbing holders cut gear teeth and splines on the lathe by synchronising the hob with the main spindle, so a geared part is finished complete in one setup. Mongtec Precision, a Taiwanese tooling brand headquartered in Taichung, Taiwan, supplies them to mount on Hwacheon turrets, published for BMT45, BMT55, BMT65, BMT75, VDI40.
Designed for Integrated Gear Machining
Gear hobbing traditionally relies on specialized gear-cutting machinery, which increases capital investment and process transfer costs. Our Hobbing Driven Tools can be integrated directly into Hwacheon multitasking turning-milling centers, equipping your machine with continuous gear-cutting capabilities and enabling complete gear production in a single setup.
20 Hwacheon models. Where the turret interface is published it is shown; where it is blank the interface depends on the turret actually fitted and is confirmed at enquiry.

The machine model alone does not decide the holder. The same model can leave the factory with different turrets — station count, model suffix and key arrangement all change the mounting. Tell us the machine, the turret and the operation and we confirm the mounting before quoting.
Already using another brand? Send the drawing or the article number of the holder you run today and Mongtec will convert it to an equivalent Mongtec holder — same mounting, same reach, same output.
Mongtec publishes gear hobbing units for 20 Hwacheon machine models, on turret interfaces BMT45, BMT55, BMT65, BMT75, VDI40. On these machines the holder is used for cutting spur gears and splines complete on the turning centre. Article numbers are matched to the machine at RFQ — we confirm the turret interface from the builder’s drawing rather than assume it from the model name.
