  • Patent number: 11738399
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for machining a toothing (2) having an axis of rotation (C), in which a machining tool (4), which is rotationally driven about its axis of rotation (B), removes material from the toothing while executing a relative motion between the machining tool and toothing to generate a flank geometry of the toothing, which has been predefined over the full width of the toothing, in a machining operation, wherein the predefined flank geometry matches a motion control that defines a motion path of the tool center with respect to the toothing axis of rotation, said motion control having a defined, non-vanishing axial advancement with a defined advancing motion between machining tool and toothing, wherein in a first machining process, the relative motion is only executed for generating a part, more particularly a significant part (5), of the flank geometry according to this motion control, while a further part, more particularly the remaining part (6), of the flank geometry is generated in

  • Patent number: 11654497
    Abstract: A method for machining a toothing of a workpiece held in a clamping, in which a toothing tool that rotates about its rotational axis and comprises cutting edges is brought into rolling chip-removing machining engagement with the toothing that rotates about its rotational axis, in order to produce a predetermined tooth flank end geometry in one or more machining passes, wherein during the machining pass which produces the tooth flank end geometry, monitoring responsive to the event of a removed chip being pressed into a machined tooth flank of the toothing by means of the rolling machining process is carried out and, if the monitoring responds, an additional toothing machining process that removes the material protrusion on top of the tooth flank end geometry formed by the chip that was pressed in is implemented automatically, which process is carried out in the same clamping of the workpiece and by means of the toothing tool.

  • Publication number: 20220331893
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing or machining, by cutting, an identical set of teeth on each of a plurality of workpieces, in particular at least 4 workpieces, of a workpiece batch on one or more gear-cutting machines (100) having a gear-cutting tool (S), which has a set of teeth having rake faces (5) and having an axis of rotation (B1), in rolling machining engagement, in which method, in the event that a deviation of a set of teeth from the tooth profile sought for said set of teeth is detected or expected, a countermeasure that counteracts said deviation is determined and the production/machining of additional workpieces of said workpiece batch is continued using the countermeasure, the countermeasure being, at least in part, a change in the position of the rake faces relative to the axis of rotation of the tool, which change is brought about by means of grinding performed on the gear-cutting machine or at a grinding machine (140) that belongs to the machine group of the gear-cutting machine

  • Publication number: 20210178499
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for machining toothings, which method uses a disk-shaped, toothed tool that is rotationally driven about its axis of rotation and has a geometrically defined cutting edge. The tool teeth are produced from a base material, are provided, at least on the tooth flanks, with a coating that improves wear resistance, and have machining surfaces facing an end face of the tool, said machining surfaces being re-ground from time to time when the tool is reconditioned, wherein after at least one regrinding, use of the tool is resumed and continued with regions of the machining surfaces formed along the cutting edges from the base material.
