Vertically stacked, independently controlled dressing tools avoid collisions and cut gear grinding dressing time across varied geometries.
Independently pivoting gripper arms and a rotatable carrier speed gear loading and unloading while improving machine tool access.
A swivelable disk dressing tool dresses two adjacent grinding surfaces at once while adapting pressure angles along a screw-shaped wheel.
A thin diamond internal-tooth ring on a support ring reproduces complex fine-tool tooth geometry accurately while maintaining secure machining.
Pulsed electrochemical discharge and superabrasive grinding soften brittle hard surfaces, enabling precise micro-structures with less damage and tool wear.
Different tool profile geometries create tooth-by-tooth flank modifications in continuous gear machining to cut gearbox noise and tonality.
Variable shift-to-stroke ratios after dressing keep meshing density stable, improving gear grinding precision and extending worm life.
