CNC FLEXIBLE GENERATING SPECIFIC GEAR TOOTH PROFILE BASED ON STANDARD INVOLUTE GEAR HOB

A new method named orthogonal two-way link-shift here has been proposed. Based on the method and a standard involute gear hob, a specific gear tooth profile (including an arbitrary gear tooth profile and a modified involute gear tooth profile) can be generated on a CNC(computer numerical control) hobbing machine. Computer simulation has been carried out, and the results prove that the method is right and practicable. So, the fabrication costs can be greatly decreased than before. The new method has momentous significance to realize gear's optimized modification under different work condition!:
