  • Publication number: 20250121427
    Abstract: A device for producing a spur toothing includes a tool holder arranged for rotational drive about a drive axis and longitudinal displacement along the drive axis, and a tool arranged on the tool holder. The tool includes an end face, a mating toothing disposed on the end face and arranged for forming a spur toothing on a workpiece, and a longitudinal axis arranged at an angle to the drive axis such that the longitudinal axis meets the drive axis at a wobble point. The mating toothing has a tooth base plane and the wobble point is disposed on the drive axis in front of or behind the tooth base plane such that, through rotary drive and longitudinal displacement of the tool holder with the associated wobbling rolling of the tool on the workpiece, the spur toothing formed by the mating toothing has a number of teeth that is unequal to a number of teeth of the mating toothing.
