Abstract

The design and improvement of kinematical motion transfer surfaces, namely gear surfaces, require the modeling of the surface-surface enveloping process and the visualization of contact characteristics. To analyse the quality of mesh in respect to undercuts, this study uses the special visualisation capability of the Surface Constructor (SC) system, which is intended for creating enveloped contacting surfaces. This view uses the unique Rho \(=\) Rho(Fi) functions of the Reaching Model theory that have been applied earlier for different cases. Using these functions the evaluation and modification of mesh can be accomplished without the generated member of the surface pair. This study presents a new compressor type with a rotor that needs precise surface finishing. The patented grinding machine applied works with a special grinding wheel generated by the rotor surface. A novel undercut visualisation and detection method is used for the analysis of the correct grinding settings.
