[0002] Gear hobbing machines are the most widely used type of gear processing machine tools. They can cut spur and helical cylindrical gears, as well as worm gears and sprockets. These gear processing machines use a hob to generate spur, helical, and herringbone gears, as well as worm gears. Using specialized hobs, these machines can also process workpieces with various special tooth shapes, such as splines and sprockets.
[0003] Application number CN202323418318.5 provides an adjustable machine tool tailstock, relating to the field of mechanical processing technology, including a mounting base and other structures. In this utility model, the spring configuration allows for controllable extrusion force during use. The greater the spring compression, the higher the extrusion strength of the pin against the workpiece. Compared to traditional rigid extrusion, installation is more convenient. However, during actual use, the spring's contraction amplitude requires constant monitoring by staff, resulting in increased labor intensity. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the workpiece is placed on one side of the ejector pin, and then under real-time monitoring by cameras 1 and 2, the ejector pin squeezes the workpiece and the degree of spring deformation is transmitted to the controller. The movable end of the hydraulic cylinder extends to press the workpiece tightly, and then when the spring contracts, the hydraulic cylinder is closed. This has a high degree of mechanization and reduces the labor intensity of the staff.
