Cutting force model for gear honing

In gear honing the low robustness of the process is a challenge in process design. The forces resulting from the machining interact with the dynamic behavior of the system which influences the quality of the workpiece and the tool life. Due to these reasons, the process forces during gear honing must be determined locally and temporally resolved. Therefore, a force model was derived and parameterized with gear honing analogy trials. This force model was combined with a process simulation for gear honing and an analytical calculation of the velocities. The model for gear honing was validated with gear honing trials.
