Using the gear hobbing processing simulation model, the simulation test of positive and negative modified gears is realized by increasing or reducing the center distance between hob and gear, and the simulation test of hob installation axis intersection angle error is carried out, Then the simulated tooth profile is compared with the theoretical tooth profile, and the influence of different hob installation axis intersection angle error on the simulated tooth profile is obtained.
