The Computation of Grinding Parameters for the Modified Shaper Cutter

Abstract:

Grinding process is regarded as the most effective way to generate the tooth profile of spur shaper cutter. However, for the purpose of generating a tip chamfer of gear, the semi-topping is always required on the tooth surface of shaper cutter, which is difficult to process by grinding wheel. This paper proposes a method to compute the profile of grinding wheel which is used to process the spur shaper cutter with a semi–topping. Firstly, translate the points on the surface of shaper cutter into auxiliary rack; Secondly, building the relationship between the coordinate system of grinding wheel and coordinate system of auxiliary rack; Lastly, the points on the surface of auxiliary rack are translated into the coordinate system of grinding wheel based on the relative motion between the grinding wheel and shaper cutter.
