[0002] A CNC gear hobbing machine is a machine tool that processes gears using the generating method. During the gear processing process, after rough cutting or semi-finishing, the gear is removed from the machine tool for quenching or other process treatments. After quenching or other process treatments, the gear is clamped again for finishing. At this time, the hob and the workpiece must be aligned (the hob teeth match the tooth grooves of the machined part), which is called secondary tool setting. Secondary tool setting is one of the complex process preparations in gear hobbing.

[0003] The secondary tool setting operation of traditional CNC gear hobbing machines is based on production experience, and the alignment of the hob and the workpiece is determined by visual inspection. Large tooth profile errors often occur. It is not only difficult to achieve precise tool setting by visual inspection, but also time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is even more difficult for batch processing of parts. Therefore, a gear setting device for CNC gear hobbing machines is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
