Two machining schemes commonly used in gear forming method include gear milling and gear grinding. These two schemes have their own characteristics, and the processing of different types of gears is analyzed in detail.
1) Gear milling
Gear milling refers to the processing technology of milling one tooth slot at a time. This technology is mostly suitable for the processing of single piece or small batch of large module gears. Its efficiency and accuracy are low, but the processing cost is low, and it can cut difficult materials.
2) Gear grinding
Gear grinding is a method of grinding by grinding wheel and workpiece according to a certain rolling ratio. The processing scheme has high precision, high cost and low productivity, so it is suitable for single piece or small batch production.
