Our YK3608/1 CNC horizontal gear hobbing machine is developed to meet the machining requirements of key components in the fishing tackle industry, particularly the high-precision parts used in premium fishing reels. High-end fishing reels rely heavily on the performance of their transmission components. Parts like the main gear and worm gear have several distinctive characteristics:

• Large helix angles: To achieve higher gear ratios, smoother winding feel and greater strength, fishing reels often use helical gears or worm gears with exceptionally large helix angles, sometimes exceeding 60°.
• High precision requirements: Gear accuracy determines transmission efficiency, smoothness, noise level and tactile feel, making it a defining factor for premium product performance.
• Wide material compatibility: Components are made from aluminum alloys, stainless steel and other materials, requiring the machine to maintain stable cutting performance across different metals.

Traditional hobbing machines often struggle with such extreme helix angles, facing issues with insufficient accuracy, low efficiency or even inability to complete machining. The YK3608/1 was developed precisely to overcome these industry-wide challenges. They deliver stable accuracy and reliable performance for complex fishing reel gear production.
