Method for chipping production of a gear wheel provided with double-helical teeth

A method for chipping production of a gear wheel, which is provided with double-helical teeth, the gear wheel having two opposing gear halves each having teeth, between every two teeth of the teeth of the gear halves is a tooth gap, the teeth of one gear half of the gear halves being configured to run counter to the teeth of the other gear half of the gear halves, in rising manner, wherein the gear halves are arranged offset from one another by an angle amount with reference to an axis of rotation of the gear wheel, so that one tooth gap of the tooth gaps of one gear half of the gear halves is arranged adjacent to one tooth of the teeth of the other gear half of the gear halves, wherein a gear wheel blank is provided, on which the teeth provided on the gear wheel are produced by means of hobbing using a hobbing wheel, which, during the hobbing machining, the hobbing wheel continuously rotates about an axis of rotation, which is disposed at a slant with reference to the axis of rotation of the gear wheel so that the axis of rotation of the hobbing wheel intersects the axis of rotation of the gear wheel at an axis intersection angle, wherein at the same time the hobbing wheel and the gear wheel are moved relative to one another in an axis direction aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the gear wheel, and wherein, during the hobbing machining of the teeth of one gear half of the gear halves, the hobbing wheel reaches all the way into a first tooth gap of the tooth gaps of the other gear half, wherein the first tooth gap is arranged adjacent to the tooth being hobbed.
