Abstract
The invention concerns a method for the machining of the tooth edges between an axially facing surface and the tooth flanks of a gear with a machining tool that has a toothed contour. For the material-removing cutting operation, the machining tool, rotating about the axis of its toothed contour, is brought into rolling engagement with the toothed workpiece under a crossing angle different from zero between the rotary axes of the machining tool and the toothed workpiece.
Claims21
Method for the machining of the tooth edges between an axially facing surface (3) and the tooth flanks of a toothed workpiece (2) to produce a chamfer wherein a tool (1) with a cutting edge removes material from the tooth edges of the toothed workpiece (2) through a cutting action as the toothed workpiece (2) rotates about its workpiece gear axis (Z),
- characterized in that the machining tool has a toothed contour comprising teeth and cutting edges arranged facing axially on said tool and that, for the material-removing cutting operation the machining tool, rotating about the axis (ZW) of its toothed contour, is brought into rolling engagement with the toothed workpiece (2) that is to be machined, with the rotary axes of the toothed workpiece and the machining tool (Z, ZW) in process being positioned relative to each other at an axis-crossing angle (Σ) different from zero.
