We clarified the effect that the positional relationship of the workpiece and the tool have on gear accuracy, including the pitch error and the tooth run-out of the workpiece in the hobbing process, which is the first process realizing “hobbing ⇒ heat treatment ⇒ gear honing” in the manufacturing process for automotive gears.
In this report, we devised a hobbing simulation that can elucidate the relationship of the tool to the workpiece, and conducted verifications using hobbing experiments, and as a result we report that we were able to confirm the effectiveness of the hobbing simulation.
