  • Method for chamfering the edges of gear teeth
    Patent number: 4548531
    Abstract: The ends of gear teeth are chamfered using an arcuate motion cutter having a complex cross sectional shape. In an improvement of the prior trial and error techniques, the cutter shape is made correctly the first time using an algorithm which includes determining certain s-dimensions produced on a chamfer by a set of tool dimensions; comparing these to the desired maximum, minimum and nominal chamfer widths, and; then iteratively optimizing the set of tool dimensions to minimize the differences.
