  • Patent number: 11992888
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for dressing or cutting teeth of fine machining tools, which tool makes it possible to exactly reproduce, in a simple manner, the required tooth system geometry on the fine machining tool which is to be dressed or in which teeth are to be cut. The tool is annular and has a set of internal teeth, the teeth of which mesh, during the tooth-cutting or dressing operation, with the set of external teeth of the fine machining tool in which teeth are to be cut or which is to be dressed. At the same time, the tool has a central longitudinal axis, which extends through the centre point of the opening surrounded by the tool. According to the invention, the set of internal teeth is now formed on a ring element, which is at most 5 mm thick and is produced from a diamond material. The teeth of the set of internal teeth have cutting edges, by means of which said teeth remove material of the fine tool during the tooth-cutting or dressing machining process.

  • Publication number: 20240066616
    Abstract: The invention relates to a peeling wheel for manufacturing a toothing on a gear wheel by skiving. The peeling wheel includes a toothing, which is formed by a plurality of equally shaped cutting teeth arranged and distributed around the rotational axis of the peeling wheel at a first pitch and at least one deviating cutting tooth, whose shape is different from the shape of the equally shaped cutting teeth. The cutting teeth include cutting edges with which they come into chip removing engagement with the material of the gear wheel during the skiving processing. In order to be able to produce toothings with such a peeling wheel with increased freedom in the design, the invention proposes that the deviating cutting tooth is arranged outside of the first pitch (p). The invention also relates to a method for producing a toothing on a gear wheel by skiving using a peeling wheel.

  • Publication number: 20240009745
    Abstract: Described and illustrated is a tool for chip-removing deburring and/or chamfering of a workpiece toothing including a plurality of workpiece teeth, having a plurality of cutting edges for chip-removing deburring and/or chamfering of workpiece edges, in particular front edges, of the workpiece toothing each extending between a tooth flank and a front side of a workpiece tooth, the cutting edges arranged distributed around a tool rotation axis of the tool and each having an extension along the tool rotation axis. In order that the compromise between low manufacturing costs and long tool service life can be improved, it is provided that the cutting edges are formed by tool teeth of at least one tool toothing of the tool.

  • Patent number: 11819935
    Abstract: A method for precision machining a workpiece with gearing, wherein teeth of a gear-cutting tool rotating about a rotation axis are brought into engagement with teeth of the workpiece rotating about a workpiece rotation axis, and the gear-cutting tool and the workpiece are moved relative to each other in an axial direction parallel to the workpiece rotation axis. The thickness of the teeth of the gear-cutting tool, starting from an end face, increases in the axial direction until a thickness maximum is reached. The ratio (Bw/Bz) of the width (Bw) of the teeth of the workpiece to the width (Bz) of the teeth of the gear-cutting tool is 2-20. Before and after each pass of the teeth of the gear-cutting tool through the tooth gaps of the workpiece, the thickness maximum of each tooth of the gear-cutting tool is positioned outside the gearing of the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20220314349
    Abstract: The invention relates to a skiving tool which is designed as a disposable tool and which includes a first front side, a second front side, a toothing formed on its circumference and having teeth. The front surfaces assigned to the first front side are each delimited by a first cutting edge, as well as a coupling device for coupling the skiving tool to a tool spindle of a skiving machine.

  • Publication number: 20220314350
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for producing modifications, such as twists, on the tooth flanks of an internally-toothed workpiece by an externally-toothed tool. In order to carry out such a method also with machine tools, which have a reduced number of adjustable axes, the invention provides that the tool is dressed by arranging an internally-toothed dressing tool on the workpiece spindle of the machine tool at the position intended for the workpiece to be respectively honed and by bringing the dressing tool into engagement with the tool to be dressed. The width of the teeth of the dressing tool is smaller than the width of the tool to be dressed such that the dressing tool must be moved by a length along the workpiece longitudinal axis which corresponds to a multiple of the width of the teeth of the dressing tool. Subsequently, the fine machining of the workpiece takes place with the tool dressed in this manner.

  • Publication number: 20220241879
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tool and a method for creating back tapers at an internal or external toothing of a gear. The tool rotates during use about a tool axis of rotation includes a tool shaft extending along the tool axis of rotation, a fastening section for fastening the tool to a tool drive of a machine tool, the fastening section formed at an end of the tool shaft, and at least one cutting blade, which is arranged at a fastening position provided at the circumference of the tool shaft. The tool according to the invention and the method according to the invention enable with simple means the creation of geometrically precisely shaped back tapers at toothings without the need for the use of specially shaped cutting inserts or a change of machine tools proven in practice for the creation of back tapers.

  • Patent number: 11130183
    Abstract: The invention provides a tool, a method and a machine with which roof ridge-shaped chamfers can be produced on teeth of an internally and externally toothed gearwheel with minimised changeover times during tool set up. For this purpose, a tool according to the invention comprises a tool carrier having a holding section for attachment in a tool holder and a chamfering tool, which is held on the end section of the tool carrier, said end section being associated with the other end face, and during use describes an impact circle with its cutting edge, the diameter of said circle being determined by the radial distance of the cutting edge of the chamfering tool from the axis of rotation of the tool. According to the invention, at least one further chamfering tool is attached in a middle section of the tool carrier which is offset relative to the end section provided with the chamfering tool towards the holding section of the tool carrier.
