  • Patent number: 10357836
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compensation device for the flat-compensated clamping of a workpiece, in particular a toothed workpiece or a workpiece to be toothed, carried out via a clamping device defining a clamping axis, said workpiece having an axis of rotation and abutting a contact surface of the compensation device with a flat side, wherein the workpiece axis of rotation is coaxially centered to the clamping axis when the clamping device is actuated, and any deviations arising therefrom of the abutting flat side from an orthogonality to the workpiece axis of rotation are compensated by a deflection movement carried out at the compensation device, wherein the contact surface has at least three contact areas spaced apart from one another and the deflection movement comprises an axial movement of the contact areas.

  • Patent number: 5443338
    Abstract: A machine for the precision working of tooth flanks of a gear-shaped workpiece. The machine having an internally toothed tool, a tool head angularly adjustable about an axis directed transversely with respect to a workpiece axis for rotationally drivably receiving the tool, means for receiving the workpiece to be machined and means for accomplishing the feeding and working movements of the tool relative to the workpiece in which movable tables existing in conventional machines for receiving the workpieces are avoided with the disadvantages resulting therefrom. The machine also having a frame, a first carriage horizontally movable in an X-direction transversely with respect to a workpiece axis, on which carriage is arranged a second carriage vertically movable in a Y-direction. The tool head is received pivotally about an axis lying in the X-direction in a circular guide in the second carriage. On each side of the tool head there are provided a headstock and a tailstock for receiving the workpiece.
