Abstract
A method for the manufacture of a gear component includes, in a soft machining process, introducing a preliminary toothing 3 with a machining allowance 7 that is fixed relative to a final toothing 4 into a blank such that a semi-finished part 2 is produced. The method also includes, in a fine machining process, removing the machining allowance 7 and producing the final toothing 4 of the toothed component. The machining allowance 7 is removed in a single-stage hobbing method by a grinding tool 1, wherein the grinding tool 1 removes the machining allowance completely in a single stroke movement H.

A method for the manufacture of a gear component, such as a gear wheel, comprising:
- in a soft machining process, introducing a preliminary toothing (3) having a machining allowance (7) that is fixed relative to a final toothing (4) into a blank such that a semi-finished part (2) is produced;
- and
- in a fine machining process, removing the machining allowance (7) and producing the final toothing (4) of the gear component,
- wherein the machining allowance (7) is removed in a single-stage hobbing method by a grinding tool (1), and the grinding tool (1) removes the machining allowance completely in a single stroke movement (H).
A gear grinding machine configured for carrying out a fine machining process with a grinding tool (1) on a semi-finished part (2), wherein:
- the semi-finished part (2) has a preliminary toothing (3) with a machining allowance (7) that is fixed relative to a final toothing (4);
- the gear grinding machine has a control device;
- the control device is configured to control the grinding tool (1) in a single-stage hobbing method for the complete removal of the machining allowance (7) of the semi-finished part (2) in a single stroke movement (H) such that a final toothing (4) of a gear component is produced.
