Abstract
A rolling device for work pieces with toothing, in particular gear wheels, includes first and second shaping tools which are guided by a guide relative to the work pieces. With respect to the work pieces, a first region of a tooth flank is shaped with the first shaping tool and a second region of the tooth flank is shaped by the second shaping tool. The first and second shaping tools are respectively mounted on first and second rollers. The second roller has an axial thickness on the circumference, which differs from the axial thickness of the first roller such that the second region of the tooth flank is different from the first region.

A rolling device for work pieces with toothing, comprising:
- a work piece accommodation configured to house a plurality of work pieces with toothing such that tooth flanks of the plurality of work pieces with toothing come together to form at least one continuous groove,
- a first shaping tool,
- at least one second shaping tool, and
- at least one guide configured for guided movement of the first shaping tool and the at least one second shaping tool relative to one or more work pieces of the plurality of workpieces with toothing such that a first region of a tooth flank of the one or more work pieces is shaped with the first shaping tool and a second region of the tooth flank that is different from the first region of the tooth flank is shaped by the at least one second shaping tool,
- wherein the at least one guide is configured to guide the first shaping tool and the at least one second shaping tool along the at least one continuous groove,
- wherein the first shaping tool has at least a first roller that is rotatably mounted about a first tool rotational axis,
- wherein the at least one second shaping tool has at least a second roller that is rotatably mounted about a second tool rotational axis,
- wherein the first shaping tool has a first effective axial thickness, and
- wherein the at least one second shaping tool has a second effective axial thickness,
- wherein the second effective axial thickness differs from the first effective axial thickness.
