Methods for machine gear grinding

Abstract

The invention relates to a method (1) for machine gear grinding, in particular pitch profile grinding, of a workpiece (2) with a run-out-limited gear structure (3.3), comprising the steps of: providing and positioning a workpiece (2), wherein the workpiece (2) comprises a run-out-limited gear structure (3.3) with at least one first gear run-out structure (3.3a). Subsequently, a grinding tool (4), in particular a grinding wheel (4), is moved (5) to a feed position (6). After the feed (5), a stroke movement (7, 9) of the grinding tool follows from the first feed position (6) along the gear structure (3.3) in the direction of the first gear run-out structure (3.3a) with a feed rate corresponding to an initial feed rate.During the feed, the feed rate is reduced compared to the initial feed rate as soon as the grinding tool reaches a predetermined first reduction position (8) along the stroke (7, 9). Subsequently, the stroke (7, 9) is completed with the reduced feed rate, and finally the grinding tool (4) is released (10).
