Description

Technical Field

[0002] The existing internal spline precision forgings do not reach the final size specifications during the forging process, especially leaving a certain amount of margin in the tooth thickness direction. In order to remove these margins, hot gearing treatment is required before forging is completed. In this process, it is particularly important to ensure the relative position relationship between the workpiece and the slotting cutter to avoid the occurrence of misaligned teeth. The previous operation method mainly relied on the operator to observe with the naked eye and use the slotting cutter to directly contact the internal spline to position it. This not only requires high skills from the operator, but also takes a long time, and is not suitable for mass production of internal spline precision forgings.
