Simulation of Enveloping Helical Gear Generation by Shaping Operation

헬리컬 인벨로핑 기어의 Shaping 가공 시뮬레이션

In this investigation, the authors propose a novel method of Enveloping Helical gear generation by shaping operation and a math model to simulate its manufacturing process. The tooth geometry of the Enveloping Helical Gear is analytically determined by simulating the conjugate motion between the workpiece(Enveloping Helical gear) and cutting tool(shaper cutter) in the generation process. It is expected that such math modeling capability will give engineers an opportunity to correct manufacturing related issues in the design phase and thereby reduce the developing period.
