Rotating machining unit is a revolutionary product that can process worm shaft or spiral shaft with fast and precise, a rotary type cutting tool, which is attached to automatic lathe and processes spiral groove on outer circumference of round bar. In this work, a study on micro tooth shape modification method of driving gear train in the rotating machining unit was presented. To observe the effect on power transmission characteristics of the driving gear pair, visualize the gear meshing condition and the load distribution on the gear teeth by using the professional gear train analysis program RomaxDesigner. By comparing the repeated analysis results, the effect of micro tooth shape modification on power transmission characteristics on driving gear can be summarized. The optimized gears were fabricated and measured by precision tester as a validation in this research.

Gear tooth micro-geometry modifications include the intentional removal of material from the gear teeth flanks, so that the shape is no longer a perfect involute. If the gear shapes are perfect, then the gear tooth meshing is better, therefore the gears will transmit input torque in a more efficient manner without the generation of high frequency engine fluctuation noise. In this paper, we study tooth micro-geometry optimization of rear gear set in 2 speed planetary gear reducers. Analysis revealed problems which are need of modification. Based on the results, tooth micro-geometry was used to deal with load distributions on the rear gear set.
