Production of satellites for a 18mm diameter epicycloidal reduction gear

In the video below we are producing toothed satellites for a 18mm diameter epicycloidal reduction gear on a Lambert 90 CNC with automatic loader and vibrating storage.

The Lambert 90 is a hobbing machine deriving from a modified traditional machine and devised to produce reduction gears for the watchmaking industry. Although it may appear to be small, the 0.45 module gear that the machine is processing is almost at its maximum dimensional threshold (equal to a 0.50 module).
The cycle time for parts realisation is just a few seconds and therefore the loading time becomes essential and which, in this case, is around just one second.
In particular, the unloading of the parts takes almost no time at all, as they fall automatically into a chute.

How Our MICROlab Is Evolving

Today, MICROlab steps in where structure is missing. It develops tools, defines processes, and introduces performance indicators. Then it enables each department to manage that system independently.

Why Are So Few Women Choosing Careers in Mechanical Engineering?

Antonella Silvagni, Head of Human Resources at MICROingranaggi, raises an important question: “Very few young women choose technical education,” she explains. “In my opinion, that’s a real shame—especially considering the shortage of skilled technical professionals that companies like ours face every day.”

Machine Tools: Invest in Speed or Stability? The Right Choice for Gear Manufacturing

If a machine tool is extremely fast but lacks stability, it may turn out to be the wrong investment. Here’s what our experience has taught us.
