Optimization　of　Worm　Processing　Conditions

Abstract

Worm　processing　is　not　a　new　processing　method,　but　it　is　a　high　productivity　process because　there　is　little　material　waste　and　low　energy　consumption.　Worms　are　used　for　the speed　reduction　mechanisms　where　high　precision　is　required.　Since　worms　have　three dimensional　curved　surfaces,　it　is　difficult　to　evaluate　the　quality.　In　this　study,　the　process was　optimized　by　improving　its　generic　function.
