3、 the surface differences are then used to evaluate by how much the vanous pinion or gear machine settings must be changed for the actual and target tooth surfaces to match Therefore, if a known master phion or gear is to be reproduced, corrective machine settings can be applied effectively oniy if t

4、he exact target tooth surface is known. The currently available corrective machine settings software packages, such as Gleasons GAGE, calculate correction data based either on the TCA-debed or actual target tooth surface. However, if the latter case is used, the theoretical machine settings are not

5、known, an unfavourable situation since the knowledge of the theoretical tooth surface is usually a desireable feature if oniy as a general process reference. This paper presents a general method to bypass such a limitation, when the basic cutting mdod and the target tooth flank form are known, but t

A test case is presented in the paper: a target master pinion is initially measured on a CMM. The theoretical pi

The fundamenta equation of meshing is: which states that the relative speed vector between contact

TOOTH SURFACE MEASUREMENT AND ERROR SURFACE INTERPRETATION This section wi

23、ll briefly introduce the main aspects considered in the measurement and interpretation of tooth flank error surfaces. Tooth surface measurement is performed by a Coordinate Measurement Mache, or CMM, using a high precision probing head which is displaced in Werent directions and detects when contact

24、 is made with an obstacle, such as a tooth flank (figure 4). The probe is a small sphere of known radius, and the CMM knows at each instant the exact position of the center of the probe 4,5,6. At measutement time, the CMM probe is programmed to aim for a theoreical position, and then to search for a

25、 contact point with the tooth surface; when this contact point is found, the coordinate of the probe center is memorized until ali the measurement points have been picked up. The comparison between the measured and simuiated surfaces is then based on the theoretical and measured coordinates. To obta

26、in the error surface, e.g. the difference between the theoretical and measured coordinates, the tooth surface nod for each measurement data point is calculated and the measured coordinate is compensated for the probe radius using the foiiowing relation: where X- is the compensami tooth flank coordin

27、ate, X- is the measured coordinate, R is the probe radius, and N is the tooth flank nod vector, what is caiied dynamic compensatior since the tooth flank nod vector N is recalculated each time a compensated point is needed. For example, when machine settings are modified, the tooth fiank nod at a gi

28、ven radiai- axial position dong the tooth flank is changed such that the resuits of the compensation will be merent. , Figure 5 shows typical tooth flank measurement results. The results are represented as error surfaces, in dotted lines, compared to the theoretical surfaces in solid lines, for both

29、 the Convex and Concave tooth fanlcs simuitaneously. The vertical distance between the theoretical and measured surfaces corresponds to the error in the direction of the local tooth Bank nod vector, with the error at a preset point equal to zero, nody the dataset middle point when the numbers of bot

31、error surface intmretation The calculated errors can be caused by heat treatment distorsion, cutter blade, machine setup, machine age and maintenance condition, or internai machine errors. While each data point gives the local error between the measured and theoretical surfaces, more global 1 order

32、trends are shown in figure 5 a), both in the lengthwise and proiewise directions: the lengthwise trend depicts an error in spirai angle, which is the average tiit of lengthwise measurement data lines relative to the corresponding theoretical lengthwise data lines; an error in cutter point diameter i

35、ce that is cailed bias in this paper (figure 5b). Figure 5c shows a Spicai measurement grid on a pinion tooth flank. The density of the measurement grid wiil affect the resolution and the types of errors which can be detected. For example, a 5x9 grid, e.g. 5 profilewise by 9 lengthwise points, is no

36、nnally sufficient for 1 and 2“ order global surface errors, but may not reveal surface waviness or proie error. 5. ERROR SURFACE SENSITMTY TO MACHINE SETTING CHANGES Traditiody in the gearing industry, changes to tooth surface geometry have relied on proportional changes coefficients that may be fou

37、nd at the end of a gear set summary, fiom The Gleason Works for example, which are based on the differential tooth surface geometq at the mean point and on the blank geometry. Such changes are nody applied to the pinion finishing process, as it is usuaiiy cut in Fixed Setting mode and the convex and

38、 concave tooth flanks may be treated separately. Proportional changes may be used in the bearing pattern development process, where the pinion finishing machine settings are progressively modified until a satisfactory bearing pattern is obtained, by converting the V-H test values into quimient chang

39、es on the pinion tooth surhce 7. The surface matching method presented in this paper relies on the global response of the error surface to changes in machine settings. Therefore, this section wili show how an error suIace may respond to such changes, and global trends wiii be established. lu order t

40、o demonstrate the sensitivity of the error surhce to changes in machine settings, a theoretical measurement datatile is created, which contains a 5x9 grid of the phiion convex and concave tooth flank coordinates.When compared to the theoretical tooth flank without machine setting changes, the error

41、surface shows no error, as on the convex tooth fiank of figures 7 to 12. Figures 6 to 12 use the same basic measurement datale, except that the concave tooth flank data is changed to rdect tooth flank topography modifications due to changes in machine settings. The following machine settings are mod

42、ified separately to show how the tooth flank is affected: machine root angie, spiral angie, cutter tilt, cutter point diameter, work offset, machine center to back and decimal ratio. For each machine setting change, the error surhe is recatcuiated and the global trends are identied. Figure 2 should

43、be consulted hereafter to link the changes in machine settings to the simulation model. Figures 6 to 8 show what are caiied I* order changes 5, e.g with minimal curvature or surface twist effects. in figure 6, the machine root angle of the concave and convex tooth flanks is changed by 5; the resulti

44、ng error surface is a combition of spiral angle error on both tooth flanks, tooth taper error which is a difference in spiral angle error between the tooth fianks, pressure angle error and slight surface twist or bias. Fieure 6: 5 Machine root ande change 5 STD-ALMA SbFTML-ENGL 1SSb Therefore, the m

45、achine root agie could be used very thus the spiral angle will be the chosen parameter to control spiral angle mors. Since in ciassical generators the spiral angle is controlled by an eccentric mechanism, a change in spiral angle will result in changes in eccentric, cradie and swivel angies. In hypo

46、id pinions meshing with non-generated gear members, however, a change in spiral angle must be compensated by changes in machine root angle to maintain tooth rootline paraleiism, and sliding base for tooth depth. /-*- Fimire 7: 5 Suiral ande chanae A 5 cutter tilt change, figure 8, produces a combina

47、tion of spiral and pressure angle errors. In classical generators, cutter tilt is produced by the cutter spindle SI, a tilted plane which, when rotated, increases or decreases cutter tilt. Cutter spindle rotation must be compensated by cutter swivel to maintain the direction of the cutter tilt axis

48、relative to the tooth mean point, while sliding base is used to maintab tooth depth. Ob87575 000480L 419 = A, 0.010 i cutter point diameter change, figure 9, produces a lengthwise crowning error combined to a slight spiral angle error. While cutter diameter change produces both crowning and slight s

49、pirai angle errors, broadly speaking it can be thought of as a le order change since the change in curmure is proportiomal to the change in cutter diameter. If the cutter is tilted, as is usuaiiy the case for pinions, the change in cutter tilt requires a change in sliding base to maintain tooth depth. However, cutter diameter change is not usually a parameter of choice to control the tooth lengthwise crowning error as cutter diameter adjustment is a lengthy process. Therefore, another control parameter is needed. Figures 1
