Method for dressing a multi-flight worm grinding wheel for grinding teeth or similar profiles

A method for dressing a multi-thread grinding worm for the grinding of toothings or similar profiles, wherein the grinding worm comprises a plurality of worm threads, each of which are dressed by means of a dressing tool with at least one dressing stroke in order to provide a desired profile to the grinding worm, wherein the method comprises the steps:

• a) dressing a first worm thread with the dressing tool by at least one dressing stroke, wherein data of at least one process parameter is measured and recorded in a database during the dressing of the first worm thread;
• b) dressing of a further worm thread, which is different from the first worm thread, with the dressing tool by at least one dressing stroke, wherein the process parameter is measured and recorded in a database during the dressing of the further worm thread;
• c) after dressing all worm threads of the grinding worm:
• combining the measured and recorded data of the at least one process parameter;
• d) comparing, using a machine controller, the combined data of the at least one process parameter with data stored in the machine controller and checking whether the combined data is within a predefined admissible range;
• e) outputting a signal by the machine controller if the combined data is not within the predefined admissible range.
