The invention discloses a few-axis-point
dressing method for a drum-shaped worm
grinding wheel. The dressing precision of a face gear worm
grinding wheel is improved by avoiding the requirement of the
grinding wheel for a tilting axis of a
machine tool. The nominal slotting cutter is perpendicular to the axis of the
grinding wheel, and the end face profile of the nominal slotting cutter is consistent with the section profile of a
grinding wheel shaft, so that the requirement of a dressing wheel on a
machine tool deflection shaft is avoided, the number of
machine tool movement shafts participating in linkage in the
grinding wheel dressing process is reduced, and the grinding wheel dressing precision is further improved; according to the method, only three
machine tool shafts are used for finishing the worm grinding wheel of the opposite gear in a linkage mode, a grinding wheel rotating shaft, a radial moving shaft and an axial moving shaft are included, and a finishing path uniformizing method is provided so that precise and efficient finishing
machining of the worm grinding wheel profile can be guaranteed. According to the method, the defects of high cost, poor flexibility and existence of principle errors of the formed dressing wheel can be avoided, and a theoretical foundation is laid for reverse adjustment of the
tooth grinding error of the face gear or generating grinding of the
tooth surface of the complex modified face gear.
