Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for tooth-machining workpieces on a gear cutting machine, wherein the gear cutting machine includes at least one main machining station and at least one secondary station with at least two workpiece spindles. The two workpiece spindles are alternately traversed into the working region of the main machining station and the secondary station. The method further includes a fine toothing step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is subjected to fine toothing at a main machining station, and a secondary machining step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is subjected to secondary machining at a secondary station by material removal and/or material forming.
Claims11
A method for tooth-machining workpieces on a gear cutting machine,
- wherein the gear cutting machine includes at least one main machining station and at least one secondary station as well as at least two workpiece spindles,
- wherein the two workpiece spindles alternately are traversed into a working region of the main machining station and a working region of the secondary station,
- wherein the method for tooth-machining workpieces includes a fine toothing step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is fine-toothed at the main machining station for a duration,
- and wherein the method for tooth-machining workpieces includes a secondary machining step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is subjected to secondary machining at the secondary station by material removal and/or material forming, wherein for the duration of the fine toothing carried out at the main machining station no secondary machining each is effected at the secondary station.
A gear cutting machine with at least one main machining station, at least one secondary station and at least two workpiece spindles, wherein the two workpiece spindles are alternately traversable into a working region of one of the main machining stations and a working region of one of the secondary stations;
- and
- a controller for automatically carrying out a fine toothing step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is fine-toothed at the main machining station for a duration, and a secondary machining step after the fine toothing step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is subjected to secondary machining at the secondary station by material removal and/or material forming, wherein for the duration of the fine toothing carried out at the main machining station no secondary machining is effected at the secondary station.
A system comprising:
- a controller including instructions stored in memory for:
- automatically carrying out, in cooperation with a gear cutting machine with at least one main machining station, at least one secondary station and at least two workpiece spindles, wherein the two workpiece spindles are alternately traversable into a working region of one of the main machining stations and a working region one of the secondary stations:
- a fine toothing step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is fine-toothed at the main machining station for a duration;
- and
- a secondary machining step after the fine toothing step, in which a workpiece arranged at one of the workpiece spindles is subjected to secondary machining at the secondary station by material removal and/or material forming, wherein for the duration of the fine toothing carried out at the main machining station no secondary machining each is effected at the secondary station.
