Zusammenfassung
Gear hobbing is one of the most common soft-machining processes for pre-toothing. The process kinematics result in a characteristic tooth-flank topography, which is mainly determined by so-called feed marks. For an economical finishing process by gear grinding in automotive applications, the feed-mark depths should not exceed a maximum value of 35 mm. In the present study the validity of this limit has been investigated in view of the development of increasingly powerful grinding machines and grinding wheels. For this purpose, gears with feed-mark depths dx below and above 35 mm were machined and ground by means of discontinuous profile gear grinding afterwards. The influence of the feed marks on the grinding process with roughing parameters was systematically evaluated on the basis of various process variables such as the increase in spindle power Ps or the degree of grinding-wheel clogging Zs, while the resulting gear quality was mainly analyzed by various parameters to describe macro- and micro-geometry deviations of the ground tooth flanks. With increasing feed-mark depth, an increase in spindle power was found due to the additional machined volume. An influence of increasing feed-mark depths on the clogging degree, the grinding-wheel wear and the gear quality could not be proven. Therefore, economical finishing of gears by gear grinding is also possible with feed-mark depths of more than 35 mm. A new definition of this limit should be sought.
