Gear processing apparatus and method

Abstract

The presented disclosure provides a gear processing apparatus, including a base, a bearing unit, a grinding unit, and a control unit. The bearing unit and the grinding unit are arranged on the base. The bearing unit is configured to carry the gear. The grinding unit includes a driving module and a grinding member connecting to the driving module. The grinding member can perform a motion of a plurality of axial directions relative to the bearing unit to contact the tooth surface of the gear. The control unit is electrically connected to the bearing unit and the grinding unit. The control unit is configured to control the driving module to apply additional motion to at least one of the plurality of axial directions during the grinding process to drive the grinding member to grind the tooth surface of the gear.
