Nidec Machine Tool Develops Polish (Grinding) Method to Process Internal Gears for Mass-Production
Nidec Machine Tool Corporation has developed a high-accuracy polishing (grinding) method to machine internal gears for mass production that are used for automobiles’ drive units and transmissions and robots’ joints. While there are already high-accuracy polish-machining methods for external gears for mass production, no such methods have been available for internal gears. After conducting research focused on this point, Nidec has achieved positive results in securing the level of accuracy and production that conventional grinding, honing, or skiving methods could not.
Four Tips to Optimize Quality and Reduce Cycle Time in Gear Tooth Profile Grinding
Gear tooth profile grinding, also known as form grinding, is a finishing method used in gear manufacturing. It involves the use of vitrified bonded grinding wheels to modify or correct the profile of gear teeth, often after heat treatment. The grinding wheel runs between two opposing teeth, grinding both surfaces at the same time.
