Method for finishing bevel gears in the tip region, machine for bevel gears processing, and grinding tools designed accordingly

摘要

Methods for machining may include: (a) providing a bevel gear on a workpiece spindle of a machine, the gear having a tooth having a head, (b) rotationally driving the gear about an axis of the spindle, (c) providing a first machining tool on a tool spindle of the machine, (d) machining the gear by means of the first machining tool, (e) providing a grinding tool as a second machining tool on the tool spindle or on a further spindle, (f) driving the grinding tool to rotate about a tool axis of the tool spindle, wherein the grinding tool comprises a concave machining region that has a ring shape and is arranged concentrically in relation to the tool axis, and (g) advancing the grinding tool in relation to the gear to bring the machining region into chip-removing operational connection with an edge in a region of the head to produce a chamfer on the edge by grinding.
