  • Multi-tool chamfering device for toothed workpieces
    Patent number: 11331735
    Abstract: A toothed workpiece chamfering device having a chamfering head (2) which includes a first axis of rotation (B) for rotation of a first chamfering tool (6) and a second axis of rotation (T) for rotation of a second chamfering tool (8) wherein the first and second chamfering tools are of different types and their respective material removal methods are also different from one another. Preferably, the first and second axes of rotation are not coincident with one another and in a more preferred arrangement, the first tool axis and the second tool axis are arranged perpendicularly to one another.
