Abstract

A multi-axis computer controlled machine tool for relief grinding of single and multiple start threaded hobs (46). The machine comprises an angular oriented spindle (65) that can be angularly (swivel) positioned thereby providing the flexibility to utilize both cup- shaped grinding wheels (55) and pencil-shaped grinding wheels (52) for grinding of hob and milling cutter relieved tooth geometry without exchanging grinding spindles assemblies or modifying the machine construction to accommodate two types of grinding methods or utilizing an additional machine axis for the spindle re-orientation.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to machine tools such as tool grinding machines, and in particular to multi-axis, high precision, computer controlled machine tools for grinding the shovel profile of rotating cutting tools. Background technique [0002] Multiple grinding wheels are used to complete the flanks and crests when grinding the tooth profile of cutting tools such as gear hobs with a modulus greater than 8, worm gear hobs, constant normal basal pitch hobs, and milling cutters The entire tooth profile on a feature. As the modulus increases from 8 to about 16, different grinding methods can be used depending on the desired resharpening life of the finished tooth and the gap width at the root of the tooth profile. The resharpening life of a tooth or the length of a cam relief tooth flank can be maximized using a pencil-shaped conical grinding wheel with a relatively small diameter compared to the length. When grinding relief teeth radially cammed along t...
