Article: Development of precision analysis method of tooth profile in gear skiving process with shape projection of removal area Journal: International Journal of Abrasive Technology (IJAT) 2024 Vol.12 No.5 pp.1 - 14 Abstract: Gear skiving process is gear machining method in which skiving cutter machines a workpiece continuously while rotating synchronously with shaft angle. Gear skiving process is an efficient way to machine internal gears, it has been difficult with conventional machining methods. In the previous studies of gear skiving, a method to derive workpiece removal area from relative motion trajectory of the tool edge surface viewed from workpiece coordinate system is widely used in predicting tooth flank geometry. In this study, a new calculation method of shape projection of removal area viewed from workpiece tooth lead direction is proposed. The proposed method can realise analysis to estimate spur and helical tooth profile. For verification, we also developed tooth profile analysis program using Z-map model, which is same as above method to derive removal area viewed from workpiece coordinate system in previous studies. And we compared the result of calculating shape projection and the result of using Z-map model. As a result, the shape projection of removal area is close to the tooth profile of Z-map model also the tooth profile machined under same conditions as in the analysis. In conclusion, high-precision analysis of tooth flank geometry was achieved. Inderscience Publishers - linking academia, business and industry through research
