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 dressing a grinding worm using a dressing roll that engages the grinding worm to profile its helical grinding profile. The dressing roll is produced by: a) producing a disk-shaped base body a profiled surface for receiving a layer of abrasive particles, wherein the surface is at least partially tooth-shaped in a radial cross section, b) positioning the abrasive particles on the profiled surface, c) profiling the base body provided with abrasive particles by removing outer sections of the abrasive particles with a profiling tool so that the abrasive profile of the dressing roll is created. Production of the profiled surface takes place in step a) so that the distance between the profiled surface and the abrasive profile changes during advancing from the root region to the tip region at a flank of the tooth-shaped surface, measured in the radial cross section perpendicular to the profiled surface.

A method for dressing a grinding worm using a dressing roll that engages the grinding worm to profile its helical grinding profile. The abrasive profile of the dressing roll is at least partially tooth-shaped in a radial cross section and extends radially from a root region to a tip region. The dressing roll is produced by: a) producing a counterpart having an inner surface; b) positioning and fixing a layer of abrasive particles on the tooth-shaped surface; c) producing a disk-shaped base body of the dressing roll and connecting the base body with a carrier layer for the abrasive particles; d) demolding the base body; e) profiling the base body. Step a) includes providing the counterpart with the surface so that the distance between the profiled surface and the abrasive profile changes during advancing from the root region to the tip region at least at one flank of the surface, measured in the radial cross section perpendicular to the profiled surface.

An internal gear machining method and an internal gear machining device, are provided for grinding of a tooth profile of an internal gear using a barrel-shaped threaded grinding wheel. An NC device functions as a tooth profile error correction means and reduces a measured pressure angle error of a workpiece at a tooth face by correcting the radial position, the lateral position of the grinding wheel, the turning angle of the grinding wheel, and the helical motion; reduces a measured error in the direction of a tooth trace of the workpiece at a tooth face by correcting the helical motion; and reduces a measured tooth thickness error of the workpiece at a tooth face by correcting the radial position, the lateral position of the grinding wheel, and the helical motion.
