Method for gear machining at least one workpiece

Abstract

The present disclosure shows a method for gear machining of one or more workpieces by means of a toothed fine machining tool with geometrically cutting edge, which has a barrel-shaped basic form, wherein the fine machining tool and the workpiece rotate rollingly coupled with one another while the fine machining tool, in at least one toothing cut, is moved in a feed direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the workpiece in order to machine the workpiece over the workpiece width. Between the machining of two workpieces and/or two toothing cuts on one workpiece and/or during a toothing cut, the contact line between fine machining tool and workpiece is deliberately shifted on the fine machining tool in order to bring another region of the tool surface into use, by changing the tilt angle between the fine machining tool and the workpiece.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
