gear grinding machine with worm grinding wheel
A gear grinder with a worm wheel is a specific type that uses a worm wheel for grinding processes. Worm grinding wheel is a specialized grinding wheel used for grinding spiral worm gears.
The following are some key features and functions of a gear grinder with a worm wheel:
1. Worm grinding wheel: The machine is equipped with a type of grinding wheel called a worm grinding wheel. This grinding wheel is designed for precise grinding of the spiral tooth profile of the worm gear. It has a unique shape and configuration that matches the contour of the worm gear.
2. CNC control: The machine tool adopts a CNC control system to control and program the grinding process accurately. This allows the operator to define the required gear specifications, such as tooth profile, pitch, and surface finish.
3. High precision grinding: Gear grinding machines using worm grinding wheels can achieve high-precision worm gear grinding. The combination of professional worm wheel and CNC control system ensures the accuracy and repeatability of grinding results.
4. Multi axis capability: Machines typically have multiple motion axes to adapt to the complex geometric shape of worm gears. This allows the grinding of various worm gears, including single-start and multi-start worm gears.
5. Automatic trimming: The machine may have an automatic trimming function for worm grinding wheels. This can ensure that the grinding wheel maintains its shape and cutting performance over time, thereby achieving consistent and high-quality grinding performance.
6. In process measurement: Some gear grinders with worm grinding wheels include in process measurement systems. These systems can measure key parameters during the grinding process, such as tooth profile, tooth pitch, and surface roughness, to achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment.
7. Workpiece handling: Machines typically include a workpiece handling system for loading and unloading worm gears for grinding. Depending on the specific machine and application, this can be done manually or through automated systems.
8. Software Function: The machine may be equipped with specialized software for gear grinding using worm-grinding wheels. This software allows programming of gear profiles, optimizing grinding parameters, and simulating the grinding process.
