The invention relates to a method and a device for finishing toothed workpieces (2) using a tool (1) which is designed in the form of a power skiving cut-ter and is rotated by a tool spindle (17) and which has machining teeth (7) that mesh with tooth gaps (6) of the workpiece (2) in a rolling movement, said workpiece being supported by a workpiece spindle (15), which is arranged in a skewed manner relative to the tool rotational axis (4) and is driven synchronously thereto, such that machining edges (8) of the machining teeth (7) machine the tooth flanks (9) of the teeth (5) of the workpiece (2) in the direction of the tooth flank extension. According to the invention, the tool is used such that the machining edges (8) machine the tooth flanks (9) so as to only grind same without removing chips, wherein for this purpose the rounding radius of the machining edges (8) is greater than the chip thickness or cutting depth (E).
A method for finishing toothed workpieces (2) with a tool (1) that is designed in the form of a circular skiving cutter and rotationally driven by a tool spindle (17), wherein said tool has machining teeth (7) that engage into tooth gaps (6) of the workpiece (2) in a rolling motion, and wherein said workpiece is carried by a workpiece spindle (15) that is arranged in a skewed manner relative to the tool rotational axis (4) and driven synchronous thereto such that machining edges (8) of the machining teeth (7) machine the tooth flanks (9) of the teeth (5) of the workpiece (2) in the direction in which the tooth flanks extend, characterized in that the machining edges (8) act upon the tooth flanks (9) in a smoothing manner without metal removal.
A device for finishing toothed workpieces (2) with a tool (1) that is designed in the form of a circular skiving cutter and rotationally driven about a tool rotational axis (4) by a tool spindle (17), wherein said tool has machining teeth (7) that engage into tooth gaps (6) of the workpiece (2) in a rolling motion, wherein said workpiece is carried by a workpiece spindle (15) that is arranged in a skewed manner relative to the tool rotational axis (4) and rotationally driven synchronous thereto about a workpiece rotational axis (3), and wherein said device comprises a control (20), which is programmed in such a way that machining edges (8) of the machining teeth (7) machine the tooth flanks (9) of the teeth (5) of the workpiece (2) in the direction in which the tooth flanks extend, characterized in that the control unit (20) is programmed in such a way, the rotational axes (3, 4) are spaced apart from one another in such a way and the machining teeth (7) are designed in such a way that the machining teeth (7) act upon the tooth flanks (9) in a smoothing manner without metal removal.
The method or the device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the workpiece (2) consists of a tempering steel or nitriding steel.
The method or the device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the workpiece (2) has an internal toothing or an external toothing, the tooth flanks (9) of which are smoothed by the machining edges (8).
The method or the device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the machining teeth (7) are formed by an internal toothing or an external toothing.
A tool for carrying out the method according to one of the preceding claims, wherein said tool is rotationally driven about a tool rotational axis (4), comprises machining teeth (7) with a machining edge (8) having an edge rounding (R) and is designed in the form of a circular skiving cutter, characterized in that the rounding radius (R) of the machining edge (8) is greater than 50 micrometer.
A device, a method or a tool (1), characterized by one or more of the characterizing features of one of the preceding claims.
