Abstract

A method for the chip-producing machining of a gear wheel workpiece in a machine uses a cutting tool having at least two geometrically defined cutting edges, which produce material in chip form on the gear wheel workpiece during chip-producing machining. The chip-producing machining is defined by method parameters. The method includes computer-assisted analysis of the production of chips on the multiple cutting edges of the cutting tool and computer-assisted ascertainment of relative forces which will occur on the multiple cutting edges of the cutting tool during the production of chips. The method further includes optimizing the chip-producing machining to prevent the relative forces from exceeding a predetermined limiting value or reaching a limiting range. The optimization step includes providing adapted method parameters by modifying at least one of the method parameters. Chip-producing machining of the gear wheel workpiece is performed using the adapted method parameter(s).

Abstract

Bevel gear cutting machines having multiple numerically-controllable axes, a workpiece spindle, which accommodates a bevel gear coaxially in relation to a workpiece spindle axis, and a deburring device having a deburring spindle for accommodating at least one first deburring tool. The bevel gear cutting machines may chamfer tooth edges of the bevel gear in two passes, where, in a first pass, first chamfers are provided on the tooth edges by using the first deburring tool, and, in a second pass, second chamfers are provided in the region of the first chamfers by using the first deburring tool or by using a second deburring tool in a continuous procedure, in which the bevel gear and the first or second deburring tool rotate in a coupled manner while engaged with one another.

Abstract

Bevel gear having a main body comprises a heel-side skin surface. The bevel gear has at least one tooth gap, which exits from the main body in the region of the skin surface. The tooth gap has a tooth base, the profile of which is defined by a base cone angle in relation to the workpiece axis of rotation. A concentric circumferential ring structure is provided on the skin surface, which is raised in relation to the skin surface, and which results in a heel-side exit angle between the tooth base and the ring structure, which is in the range between 125° and 160°.

Abstract

A device has a work piece spindle for accommodating a bevel gear work piece, a tool spindle for accommodating a grinding wheel having an abrasive surface, and a plurality of drives for machining the bevel gear work piece. During machining of the bevel gear work piece, the grinding wheel rotates about the rotational axis of the tool spindle and engages the bevel gear work piece to remove material. The rotation is superimposed with an eccentric movement such that the grinding wheel only engages the bevel gear work piece at n contact regions of the abrasive surface. The device is configured to allow adjustment of the eccentric movement after a first machining phase and to specify m contact regions of the abrasive surface in a further machining pase, wherein the m contact regions do not overlap with the n contact regions.

Abstract

The invention relates to a coordinate measuring apparatus (10), comprising a sensor (30) that is movable relative to a component (12) to be measured. A movable first component (16) carries the sensor (30) and is movably guided on a movable second component (20) along a linear axis (z). The second component (20) is designed as a hinged arm (22), which at a first end (22a) is mounted by a first hinge joint (24) fastened to a supporting structure (14) such as to be rotatable about a first rotational axis (26). At a second opposite end (22b), the hinge arm (22) carries the first component (16). Between the two ends (22a, 22b), the hinge arm (22) has a second hinge joint (34) which has a second rotational axis (36) parallel to the first rotational axis (26) and which divides the hinge arm (22) into a first and a second arm (31, 32), which arms are rotatable independently of each other about the first and the second rotational axis (26, 36), respectively. The hinge arm (22) and the one linearly movable component (16) replace the three linearly guided components required in a customary coordinate measuring apparatus of gantry design having a stationary gantry, which increases the measuring accuracy because said hinge arm (22) and movable component (16) cause substantially fewer errors than extended linear guides.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for skiving a workpiece having a rotationally symmetrical periodic structure using a skiving tool comprising a plurality of cutters (111). The method comprises the following steps: rotating the skiving tool about a first axis of rotation, rotating the workpiece (50) in a coupled manner about a second axis of rotation, and carrying out an axial feed motion of the skiving tool with respect to the workpiece (50) in a direction parallel to the second axis of rotation, the two axes of rotation being set askew at a coordinate axis angle relative to each other during the skiving. The method is characterized in that an effective cutting speed and an effective feed speed due to the feed motion arise at the cutters (111), wherein the direction of the effective cutting speed (Formula I) and the direction of the effective feed speed (Formula II) form an acute angle.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and to a device for hob peeling a workpiece (50) having an external, rotationally symmetric, periodic structure (51, 52) using a hob peeling tool. The following steps are carried out: rotating the hob peeling tool about a first rotational axis (R1), rotating the workpiece (50) about a second rotational axis (R2) in a coupled manner, and carrying out an axial advancing motion (VB) of the hob peeling tool relative to the workpiece (50) in a direction parallel to the second rotational axis (R2). During the hob peeling, the two rotational axes (R1, R2) are arranged askew relative to each other at an axis intersection angle (Σ). The hob peeling tool is an inner peeling ring (100), which spans an interior (113) and has a plurality of cutting teeth (111), wherein at least one cutting edge, a cutting head tip (122), and a rake face (121) are provided on each cutting tooth (111), wherein the rake faces (121) of all cutting teeth (111) are arranged on an end-face plane or end-face cone surface of the inner peeling ring (100) so as to be rotationally symmetric with respect to the first rotational axis (R1), and wherein the cutting teeth (111) protrude into the interior (113) and point in the direction of the first rotational axis (R1).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for hard fine machining of a pre-manufactured flank (11) of a gear wheel by a machine having at least five axes controlled in coordination and one additional tool axis (WA). According to the invention, a rotation-symmetrical tool (20.1) is driven on the machine side such that it is set into a rotation (RA) about the tool axis (WA). In addition, the axes controlled in coordination are actuated such that a straight-lined section of the surface line of the tool (20.1) is guided tangentially along the flank (11) in a generating movement while the tool (20.1) removes material on the pre-manufactured flank (11) by means of the rotation (R1) about the tool axis (WA). The generating movement follows pre-specified movement vectors (E).
