摘要

Method and systems are disclosed for plunge dressing of a spiral bevel gear-grinding wheel. The method includes providing a dressing roll for plunge dressing of a spiral bevel gear-grinding wheel, the dressing roll including: a body portion having an axis of rotation, a radial extent about said axis, and an axial extent, the body portion integrally comprising: a base portion configured for connection to a drive motor, a first cutting surface, and a second cutting surface, and plunge dressing of the spiral bevel gear-grinding wheel based upon the interference calculation. Some embodiments include determining whether interference will occur between the grinding wheel and the dressing roll before plunge dressing.
