Analysis of Abrasive Grit Cutting for Generating Gear Grinding

Determining the cutting forces poses one of the main challenges in generating gear grinding due to their significant influence on the dynamics of the grinding process. Thus, optimizing the cutting forces can lead to an increased quality of ground gears and a minimized wear of the grinding worm.This paper focusses on the analysis of single and multiple abrasive grits during the cutting process. Research focuses are the grinding forces and scratches in the material. With this data, a cutting force model for generating gear grinding can be enhanced ensuring a more precise analysis of the gear grinding process. Beneath the cutting forces, the ground gear topography including surface roughness can be simulated and evaluated according to common standards.
