GWJ Technology Celebrates 20 Years of eAssistant SoftwareA good 20 years have passed since the web-based calculation software eAssistant saw the light of day in the digital world. The software is probably the oldest commercial online solution for the design, recalculation, and optimization of machine elements such as shafts, bearings, shaft-hub connections, gears, bolted joints, springs, etc. The calculations are based on internationally accepted standards and guidelines as well as technical literature.Process and Tool Design Optimization for Hypoid Gears with the Help of the Manufacturing Simulation BevelCutIn this paper, the mode of operation as well as the current scope of the manufacturing simulation BevelCut was presented. The cutting characteristics for an exemplary design were evaluated for both pinion and ring gear manufactured using face hobbing rolling and plunging. A relationship between the simulation results and cutting phenomena was established. Based on this relationship, corrective measures were deduced. The simulation results show a successful optimization of the tool and process parameters for the gear design. Thus, for the first time, a simulation-based tool and process optimization were conducted for face-hobbing processes. | ||
