Abstract: Gear-shaped precision-working tools, in particular shaving gears, capable of providing an optimum machining result only during a portion of their entire lifetime, since during each regrinding (generating), the profile displacement factor, and thus the number of the tooth flanks which engage successively and simultaneously one after the other the workpiece gear to be machined, is changed. This is remedied with the invention in such a manner that the precision-working tool is reground (generated) while maintaining the original number of teeth (z) and the original normal module of the pitch angle (.beta.), the module in transverse section and the base circle diameter are changed in such a manner that little or no change occurs to an original profile displacement factor (x).

Abstract: To manufacture grinding members covered with extremely hard abrasive granules, instead of a base member of steel, a commercially available grinding tool of a corresponding shape and size made of a porous ceramic material is used as the base member. The base member is coated with an adhesive at the areas to be covered, the abrasive granules are applied and are pressed into the pores of the ceramic material; finally the adhesive is allowed to harden.

Abstract: A method for the precision working of the tooth flanks of particularly hardened gears (workpiece W) with a gearlike tool, the tooth flanks of which tool have an abrasive surface and which rotates in mesh with the workpiece (W). In order to avoid damage to the tool caused by remaining burrs or the like in the tooth system of the workpiece (W), a twin tool with axially spaced similar tools is utilized, individual ones of the similar tools are used one after the other. The first tool removes thereby first the remaining burrs and the like and the second tool performs thereafter the actual precision working.

The scanning piece or insert is formed by the convex surface of a spherical segment, the radius of which is substantially greater than the radius of a ball introducible into the tooth space.

Abstract: A gearlike dressing tool coated with extremely hard abrasive grains like diamond or CBN. To reduce the manufacturing expenses, not all but only a portion of the teeth is coated. The remaining teeth remain uncoated. The coated teeth lie always directly side-by-side in a peripheral direction and have, including the coating, the same tooth thickness as the teeth which are not coated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for manufacturing or machining a gear workpiece with a hyperboloidally, globoidally or similarly formed gearlike tool which has an abrasive or similar surface. The axes of the workpiece and tool are skew lines. During changing of the center distance, in particular as the workpiece and tool are moved apart at the end of the machining operation, the crossed-axes angle is automatically adjusted to conform to the effective rolling circle.

Abstract: For the precision working of particularly hardened bevel gears, a method and an apparatus are disclosed in which the workpiece is moved during rolling contact with a bevel-gear-shaped tool having abrasive flanks. Workpiece and tool rotates in meshing relation with their axis spaced and crossed and each connected with a guide gear which also meshing engage and roll with one another. Both the workpiece-tool pair and also the guide-gear pair run each with backlash, however, on opposite flanks, so that the entire combination runs without backlash.

Abstract: A gearlike tool for dressing abrasive, gearlike, tools used for precision machining gear workpieces has tooth flanks which are coated with diamond grains. The gaps between teeth of the base member which has the diamond coating are enlarged, for example by removing teeth, in order to make the application of the coating easier. In order to assure a fully meshing engagement, the dressing tool can be combined with uncoated guide wheels which have teeth which meshingly engage the teeth of the precision machining tool.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture or machining of the tooth system of straight or helically toothed, externally or internally toothed, nonhardened or hardened workpiece with a toothed tool, the tooth flanks of which are coated with a cubic boron nitride (CBN). The workpiece and the tool roll along with a single-flank contact and are supported by a guide-gear pair which also roll along with a single-flank contact. The contacting flanks of the workpiece-tool pair are the mating flanks for the contacting flanks of the guide-gear pair. To protect the CNB-coating, the tool is already driven at a speed which is necessary for an optimum chip removal before the tool tooth flanks start to work on the workpiece tooth flanks.

Abstract: Apparatus for the manufacture or machining of gears with a toothed tool having abrasive working surfaces, in which workpiece and tool, during rotation, are supported by the tooth system of a guide-gear pair. The apparatus works with a single-flank contact between workpiece and tool, whereby for changing the tooth flanks which contact one another, one member of the drive chain can be rotated relative to the other members a preselectable or adjustable amount.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing or machining externally toothed gears using a hyperboloidally or similarly formed, internally or externally toothed tool with abrasive tooth flanks. The tool and workpiece roll on one another about respective axes which cross at a distance. The tool has a sufficient axial dimension so that it is in engagement with the workpiece teeth from one side surface to the other of the workpiece. The workpiece and tool are coupled with guide wheel pairs. Each guide wheel pair runs with potential for backlash, but the overall gearing is such that no such backlash can occur.

Abstract: In an apparatus for the cutting, deburring or breaking of the side tooth edges of gears with one or two tools which are located on the side of a guide gear and which machine the aforesaid tooth edges. The guide gear meshes with the workpiece, and, in one embodiment, is constructed as a measuring gear. Prior to the actual machining operation, the distance between the axes of the pretoothed workpiece and the measuring gear is measured independently and is made visible, if desired, on an indicating device. In order to avoid incorrect measurement results due to burrs existing on the workpiece, the guide gear can, if desired, have recesses into which extend the burrs.

Abstract: An apparatus and tool for the precision working of gears, particularly by a gear shaving process. The process involves the step of changing the direction of rotation between the workpiece and the tool approximately starting with half of the advance path and the smallest distance between the axes. The optimum condition occurs when the direction of rotation is changed prior to reaching the smallest distance between the axes and the advance is directed at a right angle with respect to the axis of the workpiece or tool. The tool is rotatably supported on a spindle as is the workpiece. The workpiece is driven relative to the tool to advance same relative to the tool. Control devices are provided for controlling the movement of the workpiece relative to the tool. The tool has grooves which extend from the addendum to the dedendum and form cutting edges and the flanks of the teeth have concaved surfaces.

Abstract: An improvement in a deburring or chamfering tool mountable on at least one face of a guide gear of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,068,558 . The teeth of the tool have on one axially facing side thereof grooves extending from one edge of the tooth to the other thereof. The tool is generally disk-shaped and the grooves are either ring-shaped or shaped in the form of a spiral. Multiple grooves can be provided on the axial face of the disk and the edges which are formed at a location where the grooves intersect a tooth form cutting edges.
