ABSTRACT:
A method and control system for gear cutting machines such as hobbing equipment, shaper cutters and bevel-cutting equipment for achieving greater accuracy, productivity, and gears of increased quality while eliminating error, tedious calculations, labor and product variation is provided by employing a control system and utilizing a method of hobbing wherein optimum hob cutter efficiency is maintained by electronically monitoring and controlling hob input power, hob shift and workpiece feed to produce gears approaching the optimum theoretical calculated configuration. The method of cutting gears and the control system provides for the production of more accurate gears by eliminating the use of cams in shaper cutters and the use of change gears in hobbing machines and by properly controlling hob shift to result in an increased hob cutter life and provide higher production of optimally designed gears.
