The B&K Fellows MS300-125 is a new designed mechanical stroking gear shaper combining mechanical stroking technology, moving cutter slide technology, and the latest CNC capabilities.  The MS300-125 is designed to cut internal and external, spur and helical gears, with in the 300 mm capacity range of the machine for part face widths up to 125 mm (5").

They arrive at Bourn & Koch, tired and worn out, with parts missing, gear transmissions stripped, stroke mechanisms frozen in place, incapable of shaping a gear to any class of accuracy. After a complete tear down to the raw casting the machines are given a new life at Bourn & Koch.

Give New Life To Your Old Fellows 36-6 Gear Shapers

Double your productivity with Bourn & Koch's Remanufactured Fellows 36-6 Gear Shapers

Bourn & Koch's remanufacture program for old Fellows 36-6 Gear Shapers gives new life and productivity to a large gear shaping machine whose original design dates back to the 1950's.  Bourn & Koch's Fellows remanufacture team strips your old machine down to the castings and starts over again, eliminating change gears, the speed gear transmission mechanism, the feed gear set, and replaces them with servo drives controlled by CNC.  Optionally, the worktable wormgear can (or needs) be recut, the worktable assembly and table relief system can be locked and replaced with Bourn & Koch's unique cutter relief system (patent pending) and a quick return stroke servo drive for the cutter stroking.

The CNC allows programming the gear and cutter data and setting the feeds and speeds, allowing a change in cutting feeds and speeds on the second cut - something you could not do automatically on the old design.

Some users have had their machines remanufactured with large, throated subrisers to allow a greater swing diameter for large, tall workpieces.

In a current market where there is a scarcity of large used or rebuilt gear shapers, remanufacturing your old Fellows makes sense.  Tell us the serial number of your Fellows 36-6, 36-8, 36Z-6, 36-12 or 48-8 and we'll send you a quotation.  Request a quote from sales@star-su.com.

The model HS650-200 is the newest and most innovative in the Hydrostroke line of gear shapers.  It has capacity for medium size workparts with large face widths. Its rigid base structure easily accommodates the precision demands of the work with external pitch diameters upto 26.5" (650mm) and internal P.D. up to 25.59" (650mm) having face widths as great as 8" (203mm). Machine shown with standard work area guarding.
