Simulation of a Power Skiving Gear Cutting Process

Abstract

Abstract The results of the computer simulation of the cutting process of gears by the power skiving method are presented. Following the kinematics of the process, a method for generating 3D geometric models of undeformed sheared layers were developed, and their parameters were analyzed. The influence of tool geometry and technological parameters on cutting conditions is investigated. The simulation results and calculation of the tangential force and torque on the tool axis and their influence on the error due to angular elastic deformation of the tool are given.
