Machining Sprocket on VMC instead of Hobbing: Designing and Machining

I previously posted on how to model a Sprocket profile on your design software which I made on Pro/E. Now, Sometime the requirements of machining a bigger module sprocket exceed your hobbing machine capability to machine it for heavy standard chains.In those cases, you can model the sprocket's teeth profile, and make the program for your VMC machine using cam softwares, as the profile of teeth are pretty complicated. For example, below is the sprocket made on VMC, which took same time as it taked on manual hobbing machine. It costs a little more but when your hobbing fails this can be the other option!



A Perfect curve on the teeth is achieved...


Now, You can check sprocket made these ways for standard chains and will find good results, as I checked them below for the sprockets of different PCDs for standard chains
