Realization on Cycloid Tooth Profile for CNC Processing

Abstract:

The machining difficulty of cycloid disk has limited the extensive application of Cycloidal-pin gear planetary mechanism. The conventional machining methods and devices are a main reason. A new method is provided through a 3D software simulation and CNC numerical machining to assure the machining precision of cycloid disk and reduce the machining difficulty. The detail comparisons with old methods are analysized. The modeling and path stimulation are expressed. The NC programs are output. The method can largely reduce the production difficulty of cycloid disk and make high precise cycloidal transmission more accessible.
