Abstract

Gear cutting with disc-shaped milling cutters is characterized by a loose connection between the cutting tool and the gear tooth profile and provides possibilities to increase productivity and reduce manufacturing costs compared to gear cutting with shaft milling cutters. Various methods for gear cutting with disc-shaped milling cutters were developed and successfully implemented on the conventional machining centers. To be able to select an optimal machining strategy and suitable process parameters for each specific manufacturing task, knowledge about the characteristics of the known methods for gear cutting with disc-shaped milling cutters is necessary.

This chapter is dedicated to theoretical studies of the known methods for gear cutting with disc-shaped milling cutters. Firstly, by analyzing these methods, it was found that they differ in strategies for material removal, tool movement, and tool engagement and, therefore, provide different productivity, flexibility, or machining quality. Then, mathematical models of the form-shaping kinematics (movements of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece) were developed for process simulation. Finally, trajectories, velocities, and accelerations of the machine tool components as well as material removal rates were calculated when gear cutting by using these mathematical models.
