The invention relates to a method and a device for finishing toothed workpieces (2) using a tool (1) which is designed in the form of a power skiving cut-ter and is rotated by a tool spindle (17) and which has machining teeth (7) that mesh with tooth gaps (6) of the workpiece (2) in a rolling movement, said workpiece being supported by a workpiece spindle (15), which is arranged in a skewed manner relative to the tool rotational axis (4) and is driven synchronously thereto, such that machining edges (8) of the machining teeth (7) machine the tooth flanks (9) of the teeth (5) of the workpiece (2) in the direction of the tooth flank extension. According to the invention, the tool is used such that the machining edges (8) machine the tooth flanks (9) so as to only grind same without removing chips, wherein for this purpose the rounding radius of the machining edges (8) is greater than the chip thickness or cutting depth (E).

A method for deburring an internally toothed workpiece includes providing a workpiece and a deburring tool. The workpiece has an inner toothing produced by hob peeling, with first and second tooth flanks. The deburring tool has a first cutting plate and a second cutting plate, diametrically opposed to the first cutting plate. The method includes rotating the workpiece in a first rotating direction and deburring the first tooth flanks with the first cutting plate while the deburring tool is not rotating. The method also includes shifting the deburring tool relative to the workpiece such that the first cutting plate and the second cutting plate do not contact the workpiece, rotating the workpiece in a second rotating direction, opposite the first rotating direction, further shifting the deburring tool relative to the workpiece, and deburring the second tooth flanks with the second cutting plate while the deburring tool is not rotating.

A cutting tip, a cutting tool and a gear edge cut-off device have greater ease-of-use than the conventional art. The cutting tip has a shaft portion supported linearly movably and forwardly biased in a linearly moving direction, an angular base portion provided at a front end of the shaft portion and having a pair of skirt faces and a ridge portion that extends obliquely with respect to the linearly moving direction, a groove depressed near the ridge portion of the skirt face, a blade edge on the cutting blade, positioned on a border line between the ridge portion and the groove, a rake face provided on the cutting blade and positioned further toward the groove side than the blade edge, and a flank face positioned further toward the ridge portion side than the blade edge and jutting out in the forward direction as it retracts from the blade edge.

A tool, a method and a machine for producing a tooth profile by performing a coupled skiving movement between a skiving tool and the workpiece, by rotating the tool about a tool axis of rotation and rotating the workpiece about a workpiece axis of rotation. The tool includes a crown gear, on the front of which a tooth system with a cutting profile is located, which when in use reproduces the tooth profile on the workpiece.

A simulation apparatus includes: a memory to store information on the shape of a workpiece, information on a cross section of a portion of the workpiece, and information on definition points indicating the shape of an edge surface of tool edges of a machining tool; a first calculator to perform a calculation to obtain passage points in a three-dimensional coordinate system; a second calculator to cause the cross section in the three-dimensional coordinate system to be disposed parallel to a plane defined by predetermined two of the axes of the three-dimensional coordinate system, thus converting the passage points in the three-dimensional coordinate system into passage points in a two-dimensional coordinate system; and a third calculator to decide, in accordance with the passage points in the two-dimensional coordinate system, the shape of a tooth profile to be formed on the workpiece in the two-dimensional coordinate system.

A gear or profile grinding machine and a method for operating such a machine, especially for grinding of pre-geared or pre-profiled workpieces, wherein the machine includes at least one tool spindle which can receive at least one grinding tool, and at least one workpiece spindle which is movably arranged at a carrier element and which can be driven up to the tool spindle for an at least temporary cooperation of the workpiece with the grinding tool by at least one drive. To enhance the precision of the machine at growing workpieces with simple measures, at least one mass is arranged at or in the carrier element, which is arranged movable at or on a guiding element by a drive element, wherein the mass is permanently free from any contact with another machine part and/or workpiece part and/or tool part.
