Классификация методов формообразования и синтез на ее основе схем обработки профильных моментопередающих поверхностей

The paper presents characteristics of the known classifications of surface shaping methods in mechanical engineering during mechanical and physical-technical processing;  according to the  classifications a surface shaping  method is considered as a combination of methods for generating its producing lines – generatrix and guide – provided that the generation rate of the generatrix is higher than the guide. The advantages of constructing a classification and a formalized description of surface shaping methods have been shown in the paper; each of them represents a combination of surface formation methods in cross section and in length, regardless of generation speed for generatrix and guide lines. This increases information content of the description for a shaping method which is important for comparing methods of shaping surfaces and synthesis of schemes for their processing in the functional design of the machine. The paper has revealed the fact that in comparison with the well-known classification of A. A. Fedotenka it is an expedient to introduce methods of bending, intermittent track and intermittent rolling, as well as combined methods combining advantages of their basic methods which expand the synthesis of progressive processing schemes for profile surfaces. The introduction of the methods has been made in many basic methods of generating production lines (copying, following, touching and rolling).  Based on the expanded set of basic methods and the accepted principle of presenting the methods of shaping profile surfaces, their classification has been developed as the basis for systematization and synthesis of known and possible shaping methods. The paper considers examples of rational shaping method synthesis based on the proposed classification and progressive processing schemes for profile moment-transmitting surfaces on the basis of synthesis examples. In particular, the use of an envelope method instead of the applied rolling method has made it possible to simplify significantly a tool design, to increase its versatility and accuracy in formation of moment-transmitting surfaces with a profile in the form of a Relo triangle.
