Abstract:
A method and tool arrangement for producing straight bevel gears and the like on a multi-axis computer controlled machine wherein a single tool is utilized in the machining process.
Abstract:
A method of machining at least one tooth flank of a gear with a finishing tool. The method comprises rotating the finishing tool, such as a grinding tool, and bringing the tool and the tooth flank into contact. Relative movement between the tool and the gear is provided to traverse the tool across the tooth flank along a path whereby the path produces a tooth flank geometry of a form which, when brought into mesh with a mating tooth flank to form a tooth pair under no load or light load, provides a motion graph curve that intersects, at least two times, a motion graph curve of at least one of an immediately preceding tooth pair and an immediately following tooth pair. The motion graph curve of the tooth pair describes contact between respective tooth flanks of said tooth pair from an initial entrance into mesh to a final exit from mesh as being over a gear rotation amount of greater than 1.0 pitch and preferably, about 1.5 pitch to about 3.0 pitch.
Abstract:
A method for providing a surface structure wherein conventional grinding micro scratches are broken up to provide a diffuse structure of micro scratches and micro flats resulting from grinding wheel motion comprising an eccentric revolving of the grinding wheel and/or grinding wheel pulsing.

Abstract:
A cutting blade for face milling wherein the cutting blade is constructed to cut a predetermined final dimension of a tooth slot along a portion of the cutting end (i.e. the primary cutting edge portion) of the blade and to cut the remainder of the tooth slot at an amount less that the predetermined final dimension of the tooth slot along the remaining portion (i.e. the secondary cutting edge portion) of the cutting end. The construction of the inventive cutting blade provides sharing of the cutting load amongst the blade cutting edges and also provides sufficient clearance in the tooth slot whereby the cutting blade can be repositioned to allow truing of the cutter, particularly with respect to the primary portion.
