  • Patent number: 11717922
    Abstract: A method for surface treatment of a workpiece includes providing the workpiece with hardened workpiece surface, clamping the workpiece, removing material from the hardened workpiece surface with a material removal tool to produce a machined surface with first machining tracks, and rolling the machined surface with a rolling tool by overlapping the first machining tracks to produce a rolled surface with second machining tracks. A distance between the material removal tool and the rolling tool measured in an axial direction of the workpiece is varied in an oscillating manner. The material removal tool may be advanced in the axial direction at a constant speed and the rolling tool may be advanced in the axial direction at an oscillating speed, or the rolling tool may be advanced in the axial direction at a constant speed and the material removal tool may be advanced in the axial direction at an oscillating speed.

  • Publication number: 20220221003
    Abstract: A method for machining a bearing ring of a rolling bearing includes providing a blank with an annular surface for producing the bearing ring, clamping the blank in a machine tool, and structuring the annular surface by high-feed milling to form a sealing face. The method may include removing material from the blank to produce a track of the bearing ring while the blank is still clamped in the machine tool, with the blank rotating during the steps of structuring the annular surface and removing material from the blank. The method may also include providing a high-feed milling cutter with a face, and performing the high-feed milling with the face.
