Patent number: 11396056Abstract: A method for providing teeth on working gears by cutting, wherein the working gear and the cutting tool are driven in rotation at a predetermined speed ratio along axes oriented at an intersection angle. The flanks of the cutting teeth form edges having flank cutting sections arranged on the edges of a gap between two adjacent teeth and extend along a first contour line, and which as a result of an advance in the direction of the working gear engage in a cutting manner to produce teeth having a flank contour predetermined by the shape of the cutting edge. Each of the flank cutting sections is adjoined by a tip cutting section which extends along a second contour line in the region of the base of the cutting tooth gap, wherein the second contour line is curved such that at least partially rounded tooth tips are produced on the teeth.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Profilator GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Jonathan Zimmermann

Patent number: 11029370Abstract: A sensor configured to generate a sensor output signal at a sensor output coupled to a pull up voltage through a pull up resistor includes a sensing element configured to generate a sensing element output signal indicative of a sensed parameter and a processor responsive to the sensing element output signal and configured to generate a processor output signal indicative of the sensed parameter. A digital output controller is responsive to the processor output signal and to a digital feedback signal and is configured to generate a controller output signal. An analog output driver is responsive to the controller output signal and configured to generate the sensor output signal at a first predetermined level or at a second predetermined level and a feedback circuit coupled between the sensor output and the digital output controller is configured to generate the digital feedback signal in response to the sensor output signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Allegro MicroSystems, LLCInventors: Jonathan Zimmermann, Steven E. Snyder, Pablo Daniel Pareja Obregón

Publication number: 20210069808Abstract: A method for cutting teeth into working gears using a tool, the tool main part of which has a plurality of cutting teeth which are arranged about a rotational axis and which protrude radially from the tool main part, the cutting teeth forming an end face, two tooth flanks which point away from each other, and cutting edges. The cutting edges are formed from the tooth flank edges adjoining the end face. In a first method step, tooth gaps which form tooth flanks are produced in the working gear by means of the cutting edges using a machining process in a first position of the tool relative to the working gear, and in a second method step, the working gear tooth flanks produced by the cutting edges are fine-machined by an abrasive tool surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventor: Jonathan Zimmermann

Patent number: 10894293Abstract: A method for providing teeth on working gears by cutting, wherein the working gear and the cutting tool are driven in rotation at a predetermined speed ratio along axes oriented at an intersection angle. The flanks of the cutting teeth form edges having flank cutting sections arranged on the edges of a gap between two adjacent teeth and extend along a first contour line, and which as a result of an advance in the direction of the working gear engage in a cutting manner to produce teeth having a flank contour predetermined by the shape of the cutting edge. Each of the flank cutting sections is adjoined by a tip cutting section which extends along a second contour line in the region of the base of the cutting tooth gap, wherein the second contour line is curved such that at least partially rounded tooth tips are produced on the teeth.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Profilator GmbH & Co.
