Simulation Analysis of Spiral Bevel Gear Tooth Surface Generation Based on VERICUT

Abstract:

Based on the deeply study on VERICUT, the generating process of spiral bevel gear surface is simulated in this paper. A certain surface generation process of spiral bevel gear is analyzed as an example. First the 3D solid models of gear cutting machine, cutter and gear blank are built. Then the NC program is compiled based on the generating principle of tooth surface. Finally the surface generating movement of spiral bevel gear is realized through selecting control system and importing the NC program. It can be indicated that the simulation analysis of surface generation can optimize the cutting movement and provide theoretical basis for the movement analysis of gear cutting.
