The Solution Design of Hobbing Worm Milling Cutters Face Teeth Undercut

Abstract

Face teeth grinding of special tools, as hobing worm milling cutters are, is the shape and cinematically complex operation with the respect to achieving the necessary accuracy and resultant shape geometry. The grinding wheel shape, it ́s size and the control helix angle of hobing worm are the primary factors which are compelling the ground groove accuracy during the face teeth sharpening process. Inappropriately selected combination of these parameters causes undercut of this surface and the negative impact on required accuracy. The main aim of the solution is to find a variable and to create a parametric mathematical model to calculate appropriate grinding wheel shape according to the input factors – hobing worm and grinding wheel parameters which affects this issue. This system will be used to create the initial grinding wheel surface and a helix groove undercut calculation program. The graphical part of this programme will be the next benefit.
