Abstract
The invention relates to a method for machining a toothing that is chamfered on a tooth head front edge, in which a material projection resulting on said tooth head front edge chamfer, caused by chamfer formation on a tooth front edge of the toothing by means of plastic deformation, and/or caused by removing a primary/secondary burr produced on said end face during production of the toothing and, if applicable, formation of the tooth front edge chamfer, is removed in a rotational operation by a machining procedure with a machining tool that has a cutting edge.
Claims12
Machining tool (10, 10′) for machining a chamfer (33) formed on a tooth tip end edge of a toothing, the machining tool comprising a cutting edge (13a, b) for removing excess material from the chamfer (33) on the tooth tip end edge, wherein the machining tool is driveable so as to rotate about a machining tool axis and is formed in the manner of a disc, said disc comprising a disc-like main body having a first peripheral region and a second peripheral region with the second peripheral region being formed as a radial cut-out axially through the main body, the first peripheral region (1) having a radius and the second peripheral region (2) having a radius, with the radius of the second peripheral region (2) having a different dimension than the radius of the first peripheral region (1), and the cutting edge (13a, b) is arranged at a transition between the first (1) and the second (2) peripheral regions,
- said machining tool being a part of a toothing machining assembly wherein said toothing machining assembly further comprises a chamfering tool (20) that is driveable so as to rotate the chamfering tool about a chamfering tool axis of said assembly whereby the tooth tip end edge of a toothing is plastically deformed by roller deburring,
- wherein the first peripheral region comprises at least one flat surface, the first peripheral region having a surface structure (8) on said at least one flat surface, the surface structure forming a file, wherein the file includes a plurality of filing edges, wherein each of the filing edges extends from a respective first end edge location to a respective second end edge location, wherein each second end edge location is radially outside of the corresponding first end edge location, and wherein each first end edge location and each second end edge location are axially outside of said at least one flat surface;
- and
- wherein a joint face (12) having a radial main extension component and an axial main extension component is formed at the transition and wherein the cutting edge is an outer edge of the joint face or is formed on a cutting insert (16) attached to the joint face.
Toothing machining assembly comprising:
- a chamfering tool (20) that is driven so as to rotate about a chamfering tool axis of said assembly and is intended for plastically deforming a tooth tip end edge of a toothing, during roller deburring, and
- the assembly further comprising a machining tool (10, 10′) for machining a chamfer (33) formed on the tooth tip end edge of the toothing, the machining tool comprising a cutting edge (13a, b) for removing excess material from the chamfer (33) on the tooth tip end edge, wherein the machining tool is driveable so as to rotate about a machining tool axis and is formed in the manner of a disc, said disc comprising a disc-like main body having a first peripheral region and a second peripheral region with the second peripheral region being formed as a radial cut-out axially through the main body, the first peripheral region (1) having a radius and the second peripheral region (2) having a radius, with the radius of the second peripheral region (2) having a different dimension than the radius of the first peripheral region (1), and the cutting edge (13a, b) is arranged at a transition between the first (1) and the second (2) peripheral regions,
- wherein the first peripheral region comprises at least one flat surface, the first peripheral region having a surface structure (8) on said at least one flat surface, the surface structure forming a file, wherein the file includes a plurality of filing edges, wherein each of the filing edges extends from a respective first end edge location to a respective second end edge location, wherein each second end edge location is radially outside of the corresponding first end edge location, and wherein each first end edge location and each second end edge location are axially outside of said at least one flat surface;
- and
- wherein a joint face (12) having a radial main extension component and an axial main extension component is formed at the transition and wherein the cutting edge is an outer edge of the joint face or is formed on a cutting insert (16) attached to the joint face.
