Abstract
A method and a device for machining the tooth edges (23, 25) developed between each end face (22, 24) and the tooth flanks (26, 27) of end-cut work wheels (2). The axis of rotation (20) of the spindle that carries the machining tool (21) is displaced around an orthogonal swivel axis (16) relative to the tool axis of rotation so that the cutting directions are opposite to each other with respect to the work wheel (2) in the machining of the lower tooth edges (23) and the upper tooth edges (25).
Claims6
A method for machining a work wheel wherein said work wheel comprises an axis of rotation, two axially opposed end faces, tooth flanks extending between said end faces and tooth edges developed between each end face and the tooth flanks of the work wheel and wherein a machining tool having a blade and being rotationally driven around a tool axis of rotation in a cutting direction is advanced to the work wheel which is rotationally driven around the work wheel axis of rotation, said method comprising:
- assigning a first machining position to the tooth edges of one of the two end faces and assigning a second machining position to the tooth edges of the other of the two end faces,
- machining at the first machining position;
- machining at the second machining position;
- wherein between said two machining positions, the tool axis of rotation is displaced around an orthogonal swivel axis relative to the tool axis of rotation, between two swivel positions in which the directions of tool rotation are opposite to each other relative to the work wheel.
