<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simply-structured gear shaping machine with improved machining accuracy by simplifying gear cutting operations. <P>SOLUTION: The gear shaping machine 1 performs gear cutting on a workpiece W by rotating a cutter 13 and the workpiece W in an engaged state. The machine includes a cutter tilting servo motor 51 for setting an inclination angleθof the cutter 13, and a cutter-swing servo motor 61 for swinging the cutter 13 between a cutting position and a retreating position. When the cutter 15 set to the inclination angleθaccording to a taper shape is positioned at the cutting position and lowered, the workpiece W is tapered by incising the cutter 15 according to the taper shape. When the horizontally held cutter 15 is positioned at the cutting position and lowered, the inclination angleθis continuously changed according to a crowning shape to crown the workpiece W. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
