A cutter head including a cutter body portion having a first outer surface and a second outer surface located inward of the first outer surface. Both first and second outer surfaces are interrupted by a plurality of blade receiving slots which extend inward into the cutter body portion. The first and second outer surfaces are arranged such that an annular projection is formed protruding from the second outer surface and extending to the first outer surface. The annular projection is also interrupted by the plurality of cutting blade slots thus forming a plurality of individual projections. The cutter head additionally includes a clamping ring extending about the cutter body and secured to the annular projection. The clamping ring comprises first and second ring members which together define an inner receiving channel having a form complementary with the form of the annular projection whereby securing the first and second ring members together about the annular projection positions the annular projection in the receiving channel and secures the clamping ring to the cutter body. The cutter head may include a generally concave shaped clamping block which is attached to the receiving channel in the clamping ring. The cutter head may further comprise blade receiving slots wherein the inner end portion of the slots includes a pair of angled blade mounting surfaces. Also included are cutting blades having side portions of a form which is complementary to the angled blade mounting surfaces of the cutter head.
摘要:
A method for determining front-face indexing errors of like cutting blades mounted in a face hobbing cutter head. The cutter head is rotatable about a cutter axis and the like cutting blades (e.g. inside cutting blades or outside cutting blades) each having a cutting edge and are arranged in a plurality of blade groups in the cutter head. The method comprises determining the angular position of the front face of one or more of the like cutting blades about to the cutter axis by rotating the cutting edge of one or more of the like cutting blades relative to an angular detecting means, such as a non-contacting probe. The measured front face angular positions are compared with respective theoretical front face angular positions and an angular difference, .DELTA..phi..sub.c, is calculated. A cutting blade front face index error, F.sub.d, is then calculated and this error amount may be compared to acceptable limits and the blade may be replaced of the cutter scrapped if such limits are exceeded. Alternatively, an error normal to flank, N.sub..epsilon., (a radially measured component) may be derived from the calculated front face index error, F.sub.d, and the position of the cutting blade may be axially adjusted by an amount, .DELTA.H, to effectively reposition the cutting edge radially to compensate for the influence of the front face index error.
摘要:
A method of machining bevel gears whereby machining of both flanks of a tooth slot and crowning of the tooth surfaces in the lengthwise direction are realized without an active pivot axis and by a modification of the conventional relationship between the radial and swivel basic settings during gear generating.

摘要:
A cradle device for large pinion gears or blanks wherein a pinion may be supported and rotated for machining. The cradle device comprises one or more adjustable prismatic units each including a plurality of angular plates that are movable toward and/or away from one another along the width of the cradle device in order to raise and lower, and/or laterally shift, a pinion placed thereon so as to position the pinion for machining.
摘要:
A gear pair set comprising low shaft angle and offset bevel gears and a method for their manufacture including determination of the appropriate gear and pinion blanks and the basic machine settings for their manufacture. The pair of bevel gears comprises a first member and a second member wherein the members of the pair have a shaft angle in the range of greater than 0° to 30°, preferably greater than 0° to 20°, and have an offset in the range of greater than zero to the sum of half the mean pitch diameters of the two members of the bevel gear pair.
摘要:
A cutter disk having cutting blades oriented on its circumference with the cutting edges of the blades oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cutter disk thereby representing a plane which can be oriented to a work piece (e.g. face gear) under an angle equal to the pressure angle of the mating face gear set's pinion, and, which can be rotated around a virtual pinion axis to generate a tooth flank on the work piece.
