The invention relates to a method for machining a toothing (2) having an axis of rotation (C), in which a machining tool (4), which is rotationally driven about its axis of rotation (B), removes material from the toothing while executing a relative motion between the machining tool and toothing to generate a flank geometry of the toothing, which has been predefined over the full width of the toothing, in a machining operation, wherein the predefined flank geometry matches a motion control that defines a motion path of the tool center with respect to the toothing axis of rotation, said motion control having a defined, non-vanishing axial advancement with a defined advancing motion between machining tool and toothing, wherein in a first machining process, the relative motion is only executed for generating a part, more particularly a significant part (5), of the flank geometry according to this motion control, while a further part, more particularly the remaining part (6), of the flank geometry is generated in a second machining process, in which the distance between the tool center and the toothing axis of rotation with respect to the fixed motion path changes in a manner wherein the tool center moves away from the toothing, and in which the change to the machining operation caused thereby is counteracted by an additionally executed change in motion of the relative motion with respect to the motion control of the first machining process.
A method for machining a toothing (2) having a right tooth flank and a left tooth flank and an axis of rotation (C), in which a machining tool (4) having an axis of rotation (B) and a tool center (N) is driven in rotation about said axis of rotation (B) to remove material from the toothing, in a machining engagement, while performing relative movement between the machining tool and the toothing in order to produce a flank geometry on the right and left tooth flanks of the toothing that is predefined over a full width of the toothing, said method comprising:
