Abstract

The transmission of torque or speed from one axle to a non parallel orthogonal axle is realised by bevel gears. Bevel gears are applied in helicopters, in marine, in rear axles of automotives and industrial drives. The manufacturing of bevel gears is generally performed in a complex CNC cutting process. Due to unpredictable tool wear in bevel gear cutting, unexpected production stops e.g. for tool changes occur. This leads to additional manufacturing costs. Currently it is not possible to analyse the bevel gear cutting process sufficiently, because of its complexity. Hence, the design of the cutting process happens iteratively in order to find the best process parameters for a high productivity and optimal tool wear. Thus, an exact knowledge of the tool wear behaviour is necessary. Hence, a manufacturing simulation for bevel gear cutting has been developed at WZL. This simulation enables a detailed analysis of the process and consequently of the tool wear. Within this report a new approach for the tool wear analysis is presented. Four different gear cutting processes have been analysed regarding tool wear. The introduced new characteristic value KG, which is calculated by the simulation, has been compared to tool wear from cutting trials. All the presented investigations will be considered in a simulation-based tool life prediction model which will be developed within a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
