Abstract

Gears need to be modified in order to meet different application scenarios. Currently, the common method to process the modification is to copy the shape of the modification from grinding wheels or honing wheels to gears, which is less flexible. In this article, a new topology modification method is proposed based on external tooth-skipped gear honing. The new method using the same worm-shaped honing wheel could process different modifications on gears without any modification shape on the wheel. This means no more new dressing wheel for a new modification and thus lower cost. The modification method is demonstrated and compared with other methods to illustrate its characteristics. The control flow of the method is illustrated and the problems in the control are analyzed. Experiments are conducted to verify the feasibility of processing topology modification with this new method.
