Abstract
Gear shaping, commonly regarded as the most widely used machining method for cylindrical gear, is in fact an ideal manufacturing method for noncircular gear due to its merit of not being restricted by gear type or pitch curve in contrast to gear hobbing. However, concerning researches are mainly focused on the generation of noncircular straight external gear, paying rare attention to noncircular internal gear and noncircular helix gear. Considering that this paper, through using a three-linkage computer numerical control (CNC) shaping machine, aims to synthesize shaped noncircular gear, covering external, internal, straight, and helix gear. The mathematical model, a three-linkage model, is first established. The corresponding manufacturing process in practice is subsequently discussed. Finally, with practical shaping experiments, the correctness of the proposed model and the appropriateness of the manufacturing process are verified.
