gear hobbing machines with direct drives of rotation of the cutter and workpiece. On the
experimental machine 5320F4 of class P accuracy, an accuracy was obtained that is five times
higher than the accuracy according to GOST 659-89. The directions in the design and production
of these machines are determined, excluding the use of special technologies in contrast to
traditional machines.
The peculiarity of the developments of modern
CNC machines is the modular design principle based on Table rotation error (product

This solution makes it possible not to use precise gears, which have a decisive effect due to its bending around by the straight cutting edges of the cutter, therefore, in the end
