Abstract
The invention relates to the generation of periodic profiles on at least approximately rotationally symmetrical blanks, such as, for example, the generation of shaft-hub connection profiles such as circular wedge profiles, splined shaft profiles, etc., on shaft or hub blanks. To this end, the use of generating skiving is proposed, which permits the production of any desired periodic profiles on rotationally symmetrical blanks and is far superior to rival processes with regard to the productive machining time.
Claims11
Method of making a part, comprising use of a generating skiving system for generating a periodic profile, except flanks of external and internal tooth systems, on an approximately rotationally symmetrical blank, the skiving system including a work spindle unit having a work spindle and defining a work spindle axis, the blank clamped in position in the work spindle such that an axis of rotation of the blank is oriented approximately parallel to the work spindle axis, and a machining tool having a shaving wheel which is clamped in position in a tool spindle of a shaving head, wherein the shaving head is displaceable in a direction of an axis that is parallel to the work spindle axis by means of an axial slide and is displaceable in a direction of an axis perpendicular to the work spindle axis by means of a radial slide fastened to the axial slide, wherein the shaving head is swivel-mounted on the radial slide, the method further including the step of rotating the shaving wheel and the blank.
