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 gear manufacturing apparatus for machining a gear workpiece wherein, when at least one of end regions in a tooth trace direction of each tooth of the workpiece is machined, a control device executes a specific machining control for adjusting a relative position of a tool to the workpiece based on information about the relative position computed by setting, as a machining reference position, a position of the tool on an outer edge line in an X-axis-orthogonal cross section different from a normal machining point such that a distance between a center of the tool and a center of the gear workpiece in the X-axis-orthogonal cross section when the at least one of the end regions is machined is larger than when the at least one of the end regions is machined by setting the normal machining point as the machining reference position.

A method for chamfering toothed gears which enables lengthening of a life of a tool is provided. The chamfering method is for sequentially chamfering the line intersection portions 23 between tooth flanks 21 and end faces 22 of teeth 2 with end cutting edges 122. A pitch Pb of the end cutting edges 122 is set to five times a pitch Fa of the teeth 2. As a result, at a chamfering step of chamfering line intersection portions 23 of the teeth 2, a circumferential speed of the end cutting edges 122 can be made faster than a circumferential speed of the teeth 2. Consequently, a difference in circumferential speed between the end cutting edges 122 and the teeth 2 can be utilized in chamfering and thus a cutting resistance can be reduced during the chamfering. Therefore, a life of the tool 100 can be lengthened.

A tooth groove machining method includes: defining a shift angle as a phase correction angle in skiving when shifting a reference point of a predetermined tooth groove of a workpiece in a circumferential direction of the workpiece; machining a first tooth side surface by the skiving with a gear cutting tool, by setting an intersection angle to a predetermined intersection angle, and by setting the phase correction angle to a first phase correction angle; and machining a second tooth side surface by the skiving with the same gear cutting tool as the gear cutting tool that machined the first tooth side surface, by setting the intersection angle to be the same with the predetermined intersection angle, and by setting the phase correction angle to a second phase correction angle different from the first phase correction angle.

The invention relates to a method for producing or machining, by cutting, an identical set of teeth on each of a plurality of workpieces, in particular at least 4 workpieces, of a workpiece batch on one or more gear-cutting machines (100) having a gear-cutting tool (S), which has a set of teeth having rake faces (5) and having an axis of rotation (B1), in rolling machining engagement, in which method, in the event that a deviation of a set of teeth from the tooth profile sought for said set of teeth is detected or expected, a countermeasure that counteracts said deviation is determined and the production/machining of additional workpieces of said workpiece batch is continued using the countermeasure, the countermeasure being, at least in part, a change in the position of the rake faces relative to the axis of rotation of the tool, which change is brought about by means of grinding performed on the gear-cutting machine or at a grinding machine (140) that belongs to the machine group of the gear-cutting machine.

A hobbing machine is disclosed having a workpiece spindle, by means of which a workpiece can be rotated about a workpiece axis, a hobbing head, at least one chamfering device, a first slide with a first slide guide system, wherein the hobbing head is arranged on the first slide, and a rail system. The first slide, by means of its first slide guide system, is arranged in a displaceable manner on the rail system. The hobbing machine also has a second slide with a second slide guide system. The at least one chamfering device is arranged on the second slide. Also, the second slide, by means of its second slide guide system, is arranged in a displaceable manner on the rail system, such that the first slide and the second slide can be displaced on an identical portion of the rail system. Presented is a structurally simple hobbing machine by means of which a workpiece can be hobbed and chamfered in a short period of time.

A method for machining a toothing of a workpiece held in a clamping, in which a toothing tool that rotates about its rotational axis and comprises cutting edges is brought into rolling chip-removing machining engagement with the toothing that rotates about its rotational axis, in order to produce a predetermined tooth flank end geometry in one or more machining passes, wherein during the machining pass which produces the tooth flank end geometry, monitoring responsive to the event of a removed chip being pressed into a machined tooth flank of the toothing by means of the rolling machining process is carried out and, if the monitoring responds, an additional toothing machining process that removes the material protrusion on top of the tooth flank end geometry formed by the chip that was pressed in is implemented automatically, which process is carried out in the same clamping of the workpiece and by means of the toothing tool.
