Simulation of dressing process for continuous generating gear grinding

Requirements for process accuracy in generating gear grinding are particularly high when it comes down to low noise emission of gears. Coincidentally, dressing has crucial influence on the grinding process and the flank topography of gear wheels, whereas the number of investigations focusing on the dressing process is fairly small. In order to examine the impact of dressing errors on the flank surface of the grinding worm, this work deals with the development of a kinematic cutting model for dressing using truing rolls. Apart from required simulation accuracy, the influence of selected dressing errors and corresponding process parameters is discussed.
