consideration, the equation of the indicatrix of conformity Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) can be derived from the general form of equation of this characteristic curve (see Equation 4.59) The first f1.g, and the second f 2.g, f 2.sh fundamental forms are initially computed in the coordinate systems X g Yg Z g and X sh Ysh Zsh, correspondingly (see Figure 11.18) It is necessary to convert these expressions to the common local coordinate system x g y g z g Such a transformation can be performed by means of the formula of quadratic form transformation (see Equation 3.37 and Equation 3.38): [φ1,2.g ( sh ) ]k

the coordinate systems X g Yg Z g and X sh Ysh Zsh , and finally in the common coordinate system x g y g z g In the local coordinate system x g y g z g, the equation for the Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) casts

conformity of the surfaces Pg and Tsh in the normal cross-section through (min) the minimal diameter dcnf (or, the same, through the direction t (max) of the cnf maximal rate of conformity of the

The equation of the indicatrix of conformity Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) can be expressed in terms of design parameters of the involute gear and of the shaving cutter: rcnf (ϕ , µ ) = sin ψ g sin φn d y g −d b g cos λb g sin ϕ + d y sh sin ψ sh sin φn − db sh cos λb sh sin ( µ − ϕ ) (11.21) which contains in condensed form all information necessary for the computation of optimal design parameters of the shaving cutter, and of optimal parameters of the diagonal shaving operation Elements of local topology of the surfaces Pg and Tsh relate to the lateral surface of the auxiliary phantom rack R of the shaving cutter Location and relative orientation of the characteristic curve Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) are illustrated in Figure 11.21 The major axis of the spot of contact of the involute surfaces Pg and (min) Tsh aligns with the minimal diameter dcnf of the characteristic curve Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) This axis is within the angle that makes the characteristic E g of the surface Pg and the characteristic Esh of the surface Tsh The characteristics Eg and Esh (Figure 11.17) are the straight lines along which the involute surfaces Pg and Tsh make contact with the corresponding lateral plane surface of the auxiliary phantom rack R It is important to stress here that the major axis and the minor axis of the spot of contact are not orthogonal to each other Generally, they are at an angle χ ≠ 90o The involute gear and the shaving cutter relative motion VΣ at the point K is directed orthogo(min) nally to the diameter dcnf (to the unit tangent vector t (max)) The cutting cnf edge of the shaving cutter makes an angle of inclination i with the direction of t (max) It is important to maintain this angle equal to its optimal value iopt cnf © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 487 Examples of Implementation of the DG/K-Based Method yg CnfR (Pg /Tsh) VΣ opt sh iopt iopt (min) dcnf 90° ng pt K xg (max) tcnf g opt zg CnfR (Pg /Tsh) Figure 11.21 Elements of local topology of the tooth surfaces Pg and Tsh referred to the lateral plane of the auxiliary phantom rack R (From Radzevich, S.P., International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 32 (11–12), 1170–1187, 2007 With permission.) The same angle iopt makes vector VΣ with the perpendicular to the cutting edge (Figure 11.21) At every point of the tooth flank Pg, the first principal curvature k g is uniquely determined by the topology of the surface Pg The second principal curvature k g of the screw involute surface Pg is always equal to zero ( k g ≡ ) Similarly, the second principal curvature k sh of the screw involute surface Tsh is also always equal to zero ( k sh ≡ ) At this point, the rest of the parameters of the indicatrix of conformity Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) of the surfaces Pg and Tsh (that is, the parameters R sh, j, and m) can be considered as the variable parameters It is necessary to determine the optimal combinaopt opt opt opt tion of values of the parameters R sh = R sh (U g , Vg ), ϕ = ϕ (U g , Vg ) , and opt opt µ = µ (U g , Vg ) If the proper combination of the parameters Ropt , ϕ opt , sh opt and µ is determined, then computation of the optimal design parameters of the shaving cutter and of the optimal parameters of kinematics of the diagonal shaving operation turns to the routing engineering calculations The indicatrix of conformity Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) reveals how close the tooth surface Tsh of the shaving cutter is to the gear-tooth surface Pg in every crosssection of the surfaces Pg and Tsh by normal plane through K It enables specification of an orientation of the normal plane section, at which the surfaces Pg and Tsh are extremely close to each other — that is, the normal plane section through the unit tangent vector t (max) in the direction of the maximal cnf rate of conformity of the surfaces Pg and Tsh This normal plane section satisfies the following conditions: ∂ rcnf ∂ rcnf ∂ rcnf = = 0, and = 0, R sh â 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 488 Kinematic Geometry of Surface Machining Equation (11.20) of the indicatrix of conformity Cnf R ( Pg /Tsh ) yields the following necessary conditions of the maximal rate of conformity of the shaving cutter tooth surface Tsh to the involute gear-tooth surface Pg: The Necessary Conditions for the Minimal Shaving v Time and the Maximal a Accuracy of the Shaved Involute Gear ∂ rcnf = =0 R sh sin( µ − ϕ ) ∂R sh cos( µ − ϕ ) ∂ rcnf =− ⇒ R sh = ∂µ sin ( µ − ϕ ) ∂ rcnf cos ϕ cos( µ − ϕ ) =− R g − R sh = ∂ϕ sin ϕ sin ( µ − ϕ ) (11.22) The sufficient conditions for the maximum of the function rcnf ( R sh , µ , ϕ ) of three variables are also satisfied The first equality in Equation (11.22) consists in condensed form all the necessary information on the optimal design parameters of the shaving cutter Analysis of this equality reveals that it could be satisfied when R1.sh → ∞ Thus, for a conventional diagonal shaving operation when the gear and the shaving cutter are in external mesh, it is recommended to finish the gear with the shaving cutter of the maximal possible pitch diameter In the ideal case, the gear can be shaved with a rack-type shaving cutter Application of the shaving cutter of larger pitch diameter increases the difference between pitch diameters of the gear and of the shaving cutter This yields a larger rate of conformity of the surfaces Pg and Tsh Actually, the pitch diameter of the shaving cutter to be applied for a rotary shaving operation is restricted by the design of a shaving machine Analysis of the function R sh = R sh (φ n , ψ sh ) reveals that the rate of conformity of the surfaces Pg and Tsh increases when both normal pressure angle φn and helix angle ψ sh are smaller — that is, φn → 0o and ψ sh → 0o The interested reader may wish to refer to [20] for details of the analysis The second and the third equalities in Equation (11.22) together enable one to give an answer to the question on the optimal relative orientation of the surfaces Pg and Tsh ( µ → 0o , however, the inequality Σ ≠ 0o is required) and on the optimal parameters of instant kinematics of diagonal shaving ( ϕ = ϕ opt ) The resultant relative motion VΣ of the surfaces Pg and Tsh is decomposed on its projections onto directions of the motions to be performed on the gear-shaving machine Vector Vsl of the velocity of relative sliding of the surfaces Pg and Tsh is located in the common tangent plane It is convenient to decompose the vector Vsl at the point K onto two components Vsl = Vφ + Vψ The first component © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 489 Examples of Implementation of the DG/K-Based Method Vφ represents sliding along the tooth profile, and the second component Vψ represents sliding in the longitudinal tooth direction The feed Fdiag is directed parallel to the plane surface that is tangent to pitch cylinders of the gear and of the shaving cutter It also affects the resultant speed VΣ of cutting ( VΣ = Vsl + Fdiag) Varying parameters of the diagonal shaving operation and of design parameters of the shaving cutter enable one to control the resultant speed VΣ = Vsl + Fdiag of cutting For this purpose, the speed and direction of the shaving machine reciprocation and shaving cutter rotation have to be timed with each other In the local coordinate system x g y g z g (Figure 11.22), the vector VΣ of the resultant motion makes a certain angle ϕ Σ with the y g axis Thus, |VΣ |⋅ sin ϕ Σ V |⋅ cos ϕ | Σ Σ VΣ = The Shaving Cutter (11.23) Zk ωsh Fdiag Osh Og Zk C Σ Vg = Rw.g wg Vsh = Rw sh ωh ωsh * Vyz = Pr(VΣ )yz The Work-Gear Σ 0.5 Σ Vsl

(Figure 11.22), the operator Rs( g → k ) of the resultant coordinate system transformation is used: |VΣ | V | | Σ VΣ = Rs ( g → k ) ⋅ VΣ = VΣ | | (11.24) Equation (11.24) yields the projection Pryz (VΣ ) of the vector VΣ onto the coordinate plane Yk Zk : V | | Σ Pryz (VΣ ) = |VΣ | (11.25) Relative sliding Vsl of the tooth surfaces of the gear and the shaving cutter can be computed by Vsl = Vg + Vsh = R w g ⋅ ω g + R w sh ⋅ ω sh (11.26) where Vg , Vsh are the linear velocities of the rotations g and sh, respectively; and R w g, R w sh are radii of pitch cylinders of the gear and the shaving cutter And, |Vsl|= 2⋅|ω g|⋅ R w g ⋅ cos( 0.5 ⋅ Σ) = 2⋅|ω sh|⋅ R w sh ⋅ cos(0.5 ⋅ Σ) (11.27) In the coordinate plane Yk Zk, the resultant motion Vyz of the gear and the shaving cutter can be represented as follows: Vyz = Vsl + Fdiag (11.28) Fdiag = Vsl − Vyz (11.29) Thus, reciprocation is equal to This is the way the values of the shaving cutter rotation and its reciprocation are timed with each other The synthesized method of diagonal shaving of involute gears is disclosed in detail in [4,20,29,30] © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Examples of Implementation of the DG/K-Based

Investigation into the Surface Generation, UkrNIINTI, Kiev, No 65-Uk89, pp 57–72, 1988 © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Conclusion A novel method of surface generation for the purposes of surface machining on a multi-axis numerical control machine, as well as on a machine tool of conventional design is disclosed in this monograph The method is developed on the premises of wide use of Differential Geometry of surfaces, and of elements of Kinematics of multiparametric motion of rigid body in Euclidian space Due to this, the proposed method is referred to as the DG/K-based method of surface generation The DG/K-based method is targeting synthesizing of optimal methods of part surface machining, and of optimal form-cutting tools for machining of surfaces A minimal amount of input information is required for the implementation of the method Potentially, the method is capable of synthesizing optimal surface machining processes on the premises of just the geometry of the part surface to be machined However, any additional information on the surface machining process, if any, can be incorporated as well Ultimately, the use of the DG/K-based method of surface generation enables one to get a maximal amount of output information on the surface machining process while using for this purpose a minimal amount of input information The last illustrates the significant capacity of the disclosed method of surface generation The developed DG/K-based method of surface generation is a cornerstone of the subject theoretical machining/production technology to study by
