Investigation of the Manufacturability of Topological Modifications Using Adapted Kinematics for Gear Skiving

Gear skiving is used for both soft and hard finishing. As a quality critical final step in hard finishing, the process can be used to create modifications to the tooth flank. At present there is no knowledge of the extent to which topological modifications can be applied by gear skiving. In this report, the feasibility of manufacturing topological modifications on an external gear through adapted kinematics for gear skiving has been investigated.
