METHOD FOR GENERATING A GEAR TOOTH SYSTEM , AND A GEAR CUTTING MACHINE THAT CAN BE OPERATED USING SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for generating a gear tooth system wherein a workpiece to be toothed and a chip removing tool are brought together by rolling motion until after several passes of the tool every flank of the gear tooth system has been generated. During each pass a cut surface having at least one flank section is generated on the workpiece wherein an additional motion is superimposed onto the rolling motion by way of which the flank sections generated during at least two directly consecutive passes are connected. The invention further relates to a controlled gear cutting machine for carrying out said method.
