Method for producing and controlling on a fillet gear

摘要

The present method includes the steps of fitting a polynomial curve to the design criteria points (10), and producing the fillet (18) on the gear (16), the fillet having a curved shape corresponding to the fitted polynomial curve. As a further step for control of the fillet, the actual shape of the fillet produced can be inspected and compared to the fitted curve, using a coordinate measuring machine or other suitable device. According to a further aspect of the invention, the fillet is produced using a tool having a curved surface corresponding to the polynomial curve.
