Method for the machining of gear teeth, work piece with gear teeth, and machine tool
Method for the machining of gear teeth whose tooth flanks deviate from their specified geometry by a machining allowance, wherein the machining allowance is removed through an infeed of at least two infeed steps, each of which is followed by a machining pass with a profiling tool that rotates about a tool axis, wherein for this operation the profiling tool—after it has been set to a position relative to the gear wheel that depends on the angle at which the plane of rotation of the tool which is orthogonal to the tool axis is tilted against the axis of the gear wheel—is brought into engagement with the gear teeth, wherein after each infeed step the material within the resultant engagement area of the tool is removed, wherein after the last infeed step with a tilt angle setting of the profiling tool that is determined by the design angle of the latter, the area of tool engagement extends over the entire flank height, so that the next machining pass will remove the amount of material required to attain the specified geometry, wherein in at least one infeed step which precedes the last infeed step, the profiling tool is set to a tilt angle which deviates from the angle that the tool was designed for and which results in a tool engagement area which, in comparison to the setting at the designed angle, is enlarged in the direction of the flank height.

Method for machining the flanks of substantially cylindrical gearing having modified crowning, in a diagonal rolling method
The invention concerns a method of machining the tooth flanks of substantially cylindrical, but crowning-modified gears through a diagonal generating process employing a worm-shaped tool which is modified with a crowning in the direction of its rotary axis, wherein the crowning can be positive or negative (concave crowning), wherein by matching the crowning of the tool to the diagonal ratio, a flank twist is generated by means of the tool and superimposed on the natural flank twist, such that the result of said superposition equals the flank twist required for the work piece.

Method for machining the tooth edges of end-cut work wheels
A method and a device for machining the tooth edges (23, 25) developed between each end face (22, 24) and the tooth flanks (26, 27) of end-cut work wheels (2). The axis of rotation (20) of the spindle that carries the machining tool (21) is displaced around an orthogonal swivel axis (16) relative to the tool axis of rotation so that the cutting directions are opposite to each other with respect to the work wheel (2) in the machining of the lower tooth edges (23) and the upper tooth edges (25).

By coordinating the amount and course of the crowning of the tool and the diagonal ratio, a twist is created with a simple tool, and superimposed on the natural twist, thus resulting in the twist required for the work piece. Furthermore, an additional portion of the crowning is superimposed on the portion of the crowning of the work piece which is the result of the crowning of the tool during the machining in the diagonal method, thus resulting in the required crowning of the work piece, with the additional portion of the crowning being generated by changing the spacing between tool and work piece during the machining.
