Aiming at the deficiency that the current spiral bevel gear technology can not make full use of the universal motion function of NC machine tools to ensure that the point meshing tooth surface obtains the predetermined meshing characteristics in the whole transmission process, Zhou kaihong and others proposed a new method to process the point meshing tooth surface according to the predetermined tooth surface structure requirements on the free form five axis linkage NC machine tool, The tooth surface processed by the new method has second-order contact with the target tooth surface along the predetermined contact trace, which fully meets the meshing characteristics of the predetermined point meshing tooth surface required by the design. In other areas of the tooth surface, the tooth surface developed by this method can approach the target tooth surface of gear processing with the minimum deviation.
