A method for the manufacture of a gear component includes, in a soft machining process, introducing a preliminary toothing 3 with a machining allowance 7 that is fixed relative to a final toothing 4 into a blank such that a semi-finished part 2 is produced. The method also includes, in a fine machining process, removing the machining allowance 7 and producing the final toothing 4 of the toothed component. The machining allowance 7 is removed in a single-stage hobbing method by a grinding tool 1, wherein the grinding tool 1 removes the machining allowance completely in a single stroke movement H.

A method for machining toothed and hardened work wheels, includes: mounting a work wheel that is hardened and pre-toothed with an allowance onto a workpiece spindle; removing at least 50% of the allowance by means of gear skiving with a skiving wheel that is rotatably driven by a tool spindle; precision-machining the work wheel in unchanged tension by means of a honing wheel. The forward movement occurs during gear skiving in the extension direction of the toothing. The delivery of the workpiece that is moved in an oscillating manner in the extension direction of the toothing occurs during honing in the radial direction. The skiving wheel and the honing wheel are driven by a common tool spindle. A device for carrying out the method includes a workpiece spindle, which is driven to rotate, and a tool spindle, which carries a combination tool having a skiving wheel and a honing wheel.

A process for improving the excitation behavior of a ground bevel gear set by altering the surface structure of a gear set member from tooth slot to tooth slot (Teeth 1-3). The method comprises shifting the roll-positions in a way that not every facet or flat (F) is positioned the same way on each flank (2) and/or changing the distances of the roll angle along a tooth slot (delta RPj) whereby flats are spaced unequally (i.e. varying widths) along the tooth. One or more additional processes for altering the surface structure may be included.

The present invention shows a process for gear manufacturing machining a workpiece by a tool on a gear manufacturing machine, wherein the workpiece is machined by a generating machining process in which the tool for gear manufacturing machining rolls off on the workpiece at a predefined center distance and axial cross angle, wherein the gear manufacturing machining preferably takes place on two flanks, with a desired tooth trace shape and/or tooth thickness of the gearing being generated by the generating machining process. The process is characterized in that an additional condition is predefinable and in that the center distance and the axial cross angle are determined in dependence on the desired tooth trace shape and/or tooth thickness of the gearing and on the additional condition.

A method for grinding a gear toothing, in which a target value with a tolerance range is defined for the tooth width. The method includes: a) measuring the location of the surface of the tooth flanks of the gear at at least two axial positions offset in the direction of the axis of rotation; b) determining the actually present allowance of the gear based on the measured values determined in step a); c) grinding the toothing by radial infeed of the grinding tool relative to the toothing, c1) wherein the radial infeed corresponds to the target value of the tooth width, if the determination under step b) indicated that such an allowance is present on all tooth flanks that material will be removed from all tooth flanks, or c2) wherein the radial infeed takes place at a value higher than the target value of the tooth width, the higher value still corresponding to the tolerance range for the tooth width, if the determination under step b) indicated that such an allowance is present on all tooth flanks that material will be removed from all tooth flanks only with increased radial infeed.
