Development of a method for applying free kinematics for gear profile grinding
Abstract
The quality and performance of gears, especially in aerospace applications, need to be assured. As the manufacturing process has a significant influence on the performance of the gear, any occurring error during the manufacturing process must be detected. In this paper, a new method is presented that allows the usage of servo traces of the manufacturing machines to simulate the actual process kinematics. This method allows a more precise simulation and therefore more precise prediction of the quality of manufactured gears.
