“…The motion rules of the NC planer should be determined before cutting the workpiece. The equivalent principle generally used in the determination of the NC motion rules is that the position and direction of the surface generated in the NC cutting process is identical to that in the abstract or uniform generation process [20]. Considering the structure (Fig.…”

The conventional tooth surface of a face gear is difficult to manufacture, and the cutter is not uniform even though the parameters of its mating pinion slightly change. Based on the analysis of the features of the tooth surface, a new developable ruled surface approach is proposed that defines the tooth flank of the face gear, for which the most important feature is that it could be generated by a straight-edged cutter. This study presents mathematical models of the cutter and the new tooth surface and the corresponding deviation, correction and generation method for this surface, which are investigated through numerical examples. The manufacturing process is simulated by VERICUT software, and the results demonstrate that even when the principle deviation is added to the machined deviation, the absolute deviation is on the microscale. The meshing and contact simulation shows that the new surface could obtain good meshing performance when the number of face gear teeth is greater than three times the number of pinion teeth. This research provides a new method for manufacturing face gears.

“…A new closed-form (explicit) solution was proposed to calculate the envelope surface of the developable ruled surface, and it was applied to the modeling and CNC milling of face gears [6,7]. Shih et al studied a disk tool cutting method using a five-axis machine for producing small or medium batches of large bevel gears and proposed a new mathematical model of face-hobbed straight bevel gears based on a modern six-axis computer numerical control (CNC) bevel gear cutting machine [8,9]. Guo et al developed a grinding method for face gears on a general CNC machine with only five degrees of freedom and presented the procedure of computerized generation and the results of simulation of meshing, as well as the stress analysis of face gear drives manufactured by circular cutters without considering the feed motion of the circular cutters [10,11].…”

In order to further improve the grinding efficiency of face gear, this paper presents a novel method for grinding face gear along contact trace using disk CBN wheel. Firstly, the grinding principle of face gear is studied, and the tooth surface equations of rack and gear shaper cutter are derived, thus formulating the tooth surface equation of disk CBN wheel. Secondly, considering the structure of the face gear grinding machine tool and the impact of the grinding wheel parameters on the face gear tooth surface, the disk CBN wheel configuration is proposed, and the calculation method of the tool position of the face gear grinding is established. Thirdly, according to the structural characteristics of the grinding wheel, the tooth surface contact trace of the face gear is designed, and the face gear development grinding processing method along the tooth surface contact traces is presented. Finally, a test of grinding spur face gear with disk CBN wheel is carried out on a laboratory-made five-axis face gear processing machine. The test results verified the correctness of the face gear grinding. Compared with the dish wheel for grinding face gear, the grinding method proposed in this paper can further improve the grinding efficiency of face gear. This method will break new ground for the engineering application of the face gear.

“…The most extended ones are the following ones: Gleason's gearing, Klingelnberg's Palloid System, and the Oerlikon's and Klingelnberg's Palloid System. In the last years there have been many researches about the manufacturing of gears in multitasking machines [17] with standard tools [18]. This work goes in the direction of using simpler tools for the manufacturing of gears, enabling the production of complex surfaces using non-dedicated machines.…”

In this work a design methodology to define the best geometry of cutting tool for complex surfaces is defined, being based on the final part surface geometry. The manufacture of components with tailor made shaped tools, based on algorithm calculation and adapted to the geometry of the final piece surface, reduces manufacturing time and maintains piece quality in comparison with traditional cutting tools. Cutting tools are usually cylindrical (end mills) or ball-end mills. With mathematical algorithms can be defined diamond & CBN electroplated form tools, multi-tooth endmills, abrasive grinding tools and so on. The approach here presented can enable the production of tools for manufacturing process such as Super Abrasive Machining (SAM) and Flank milling strategies. Comparison between standard tools and traditional machining processes versus custom-shaped tools was studied in terms of process time. Final applications are numerous, such as, integral blade rotors, spiral bevel gears, blisks and impellers, complex screws, and others.
