METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SCREW-SHAPED TOOL

摘要

A method for manufacturing a screw-shaped tool for grinding a face gear with high precision. The tool is formed in such a manner that the diameter thereof gradually increases from an axial end to an intermediate section in the axial direction, and is used for cutting a face gear. The method includes setting up, on the basis of a prescribed pinion which is to mesh with the face gear to be machined, a virtual gear that is to mesh with the prescribed pinion, and has a greater number of teeth than the prescribed pinion; setting up, on the basis of the virtual gear, a virtual inner gear which has the same number of teeth as the virtual gear, said teeth being on the inside; and setting up, on the basis of the virtual inner gear, a screw-shaped grindstone having various elements that are used for cutting the virtual inner gear.

主权项

1. A method for manufacturing a threaded tool which is to be formed in such a way as to increase gradually in diameter from axial ends thereof toward an axial center thereof, for use in gear machining of a machining-target face gear, characterized in that the method comprises:
based on a prescribed pinion which meshes with the machining-target face gear, setting a virtual gear which meshes with the prescribed pinion and has a greater number of teeth than the number of teeth of the prescribed pinion; based on the virtual gear, setting a virtual internal gear which is internally toothed with the same number of teeth as the number of teeth of the virtual gear; and based on the virtual internal gear, setting the threaded tool which has specifications for use in gear machining of the virtual internal gear.
