Gears are one of the indispensable parts in mechanical transmission and are widely used in machine tools, automobiles, machinery and other fields. Gear machining It is one of the important processes in making gears. The following will introduce the equipment and processes required for gear processing.
Gear processing equipment
Gear processing machine tools are the most basic equipment for gear processing, mainly including gear cutting machines, gear grinding machines, gear broaching machines, gear shaping machines, etc.
Gear cutting machine is one of the most used machine tools in gear processing, mainly used to cut the tooth profile of gears. Gear grinding machines are mainly used for the processing of precision gears, such as high-precision machine tools and aircraft. Gear broaching machine is a machine tool used to manufacture gear mandrels, mainly by stretching metal materials in reverse to make them the mandrel of the gear. A gear shaper is a machine tool that processes rod-shaped metal materials into gears through multiple processes.
Gear measuring equipment
Gear measuring equipment mainly includes gear measuring instruments, CNC three-coordinate measuring instruments and harmonic analyzers. It is mainly to check the machining accuracy and surface quality of gears.
A gear measuring instrument is a special equipment for gear measurement, which is used to check the accuracy, layout and concentricity of gears. The CNC three-coordinate measuring instrument can measure various parameters of the gear with high precision, including pitch, modulus, tooth width, etc. The harmonic analyzer can check the surface quality of the gear, such as the vibration and balance of the gear.
Gear processing auxiliary equipment
Gear processing auxiliary equipment includes gear cutting fluid, fixtures, tools, sharpening machines, etc., which are mainly used to assist gear processing.
Gear cutting fluid is a lubricant and coolant used when processing gears, which can effectively reduce friction and heat during the gear processing process. The fixture can effectively fix the gear material and make it stable for processing. The tool is the main tool for cutting gears, and different tools need to be selected according to different gear materials and processing requirements. The sharpening machine is a device used to grind and repair tools.
Process
Gear processing technology
Gear processing technology includes turning, milling, grinding, etc., among which turning is one of the most commonly used gear processing technologies.
Turning is processed by a lathe on a gear processing machine tool, mainly to cut the gear material from the whole to form a tooth profile. Milling is processed by a milling machine, mainly to cut on the surface of the gear. Grinding is processed by a grinder, mainly used to process high-precision and high-demand gears.
Gear processing technology
Gear processing technology includes CNC technology, hole opening technology and adaptive processing technology, etc., mainly to improve the processing accuracy and efficiency of gears.
CNC technology is a technology that enters the digital age in gear processing. It uses computer programs to control the processing machine tool to complete the processing process. Hole opening technology is to process internal gear, you can open a hole between the tooth profile and the mandrel to complete the processing of the internal gear. Adaptive processing technology is to use sensors to achieve adaptive control in the gear processing process, improve processing accuracy and efficiency.
In summary, the equipment and technology required for gear processing are very rich, including gear processing machine tools, gear measuring equipment, gear processing auxiliary equipment, etc. At the same time, gear processing technology is also constantly developing and innovating, improving the efficiency and accuracy of processing, so that gears play a more important role in mechanical transmission.
