In this tutorial I will show you how to create a plastic gear, which is a kind of a machine tool suitable for various kinds of plastic gears. The operation principle of this device is similar to that of ordinary lathes and milling machines, but in the above-mentioned machine there is no need for drilling or boring and grinding operations. Everything is made by CNC Vortech
The unit consists of two main parts: a drive mechanism and a workpiece holder. The whole process starts with the plastic injection molding machine, which is connected to the extruder. In addition, in this tutorial we will also present some ideas about how to use this machine for creating other types of gears such as those used in watches and clocks
It's important to note that most types of gears can be created using this type of machine if they have an outer diameter equal to or less than 50 mm.
