Chongqing Fubang: Rapidly Expanding Manufacturer of Gear Cutting Tools
Chongqing, the city at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing river, where 30mio people live and work, is not only of great geographical importance, but also home of Chongqing Fubang Tool Manufacturing Co. Ltd. Fubang is a well-known manufacturer of shaper cutters, gear hobs and other gear cutting tools. They supply various industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics and general machining. Fubang tools are known for high precision at a favorable price.
In 2017
Chongqing Fubang started its cooperation with the Swiss machine tool
manufacturer SCHNEEBERGER. At this time the growing company was in need of high
precision and high output production capacity to enlarge their share within
this competitive market. “We needed products with stable AAA precision at
lowest production cost possible” Mr. Zhou Tianhong, GM at Fubang said. To reach
this goal, two machine types out of the SCHNEEBERGER range were chosen, gemini NGM for efficient shaper cutter profiling and norma NGC for tool
resharpening. “There were some obvious reasons to choose these two machines” Mr. Zhou says. “First, SCHNEEBERGER has many years of experience
in developing and manufacturing grinding machines and their products are famous
for high quality, excellent stability and longevity. The gemini NGM offers a
powerful grinding spindle, linear motors in all axis, dressing unit and a hydraulic
tailstock. Simply a perfect match to our request for shaper cutter profiling.”
Mr. Zhou explains. The additional demand of
Fubang concerning a specially designed MK4 fixturing could be realized. The norma NGC equipped with dressing unit and hydraulic tailstock is used for
resharpening of shaper cutters and gear hobs. Both machines are running the
CAD/CAM grinding Software Qg1.
After years
of successful use of both grinding machines, a further advantage of this
equipment stands out: “Not only the quality and precision of the produced tools
was proofed, furthermore the uptime of the machines, operated in day &
night shift, is outstanding. Maintenance cost for wear parts or even repair
fees are indeed very moderate.” states Mr. Zhou.
Chongqing Fubang always perceived the market and listened to the needs of customers. Experience and know how combined with the sense of upcoming trends in the tool market, Fubang follows their sustained success. To meet the increasing demand, production capacity had to be raised and three more gemini NGM were ordered. SCHNEEBERGER will continue to support Fubang with great effort and is happy to be part of the success.
