How much does the Gleason Genesis 400H CNC Gear Hobbing Machine cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc gear cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Gleason Corporation. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Gleason Genesis 400H is a vertical gear hobbing machine for workpieces up to 400 mm in diameter, or 450 mm as an option, with a maximum module of 8 mm and 650 mm of axial slide travel. Gleason lists it as the Genesis 400H(CD), with fly cutter chamfering as an optional addition.
The axial slide travel is the figure that sets this machine apart from a disc-gear hobber. At 650 mm it is longer than the largest workpiece diameter, so tall parts, shafts with the gear far from the clamping face and stacks of blanks all come within reach of the hob.
Two items in the table are options and should be treated that way. The 450 mm diameter is not the standard capacity, so a job between 400 mm and 450 mm depends on the machine being ordered for it. Fly cutter chamfering is likewise optional. Where it is fitted, chamfering happens on the hobbing machine instead of at a separate station. Hob size, spindle speeds and machine weight are not in the table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Axial slide travel of 650 mm, longer than the 400 mm workpiece diameter, for shafts and stacked blanks
- Workpiece diameter can be extended from 400 mm to 450 mm as an option
- Optional fly cutter chamfering on the hobbing machine
Limitations
- The 450 mm diameter and fly cutter chamfering are options, not standard equipment
- Maximum module is 8 mm, so coarser teeth need a larger machine
- No hob dimensions, spindle speeds or weight are listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
400 mm as standard. Gleason lists 450 mm as an option, so the larger capacity has to be specified when the machine is ordered. The maximum module is 8 mm in either case, and the axial slide travel is 650 mm.
02
Fly cutter chamfering is listed as optional on the Genesis 400H(CD). With the option, tooth edges are chamfered on the hobbing machine. Without it the machine hobs only, and chamfering or deburring is a separate operation.
