Installation Requirements of Cutter Shaft and Cutter in Gear Rolling Process
The gear rolling process refers to a rolling process in which a cylindrical gear or a spur gear is obtained by rolling a gear profile blank with a special rolling tool. It is a method of manufacturing gears with shaped teeth, which has the characteristics of easy operation, high efficiency, low cost, and high precision. The installation requirements of the cutter shaft and cutter in the gear rolling process are as follows:
1. The cutter shaft and cutter should be installed in the gear rolling tool according to the manufacturers specifications. However, the manufacturer shall provide detailed drawings and installation instructions for the cutter shaft and cutter.
2. Before installing the cutter shaft and cutter, confirm that the spindle and splines of the gear rolling tool are in good condition, otherwise, the cutter will be seriously damaged during the rolling process.
3. The cutter shaft and cutter should be correctly clamped and tightened to ensure good accuracy.
4. When installing the dowel pin, check that it is inserted firmly so that the two parts of the gear rolling tool can accurately assemble.
5. The mounting surface should be flat and avoid bumps, grooves, and other irregularities.
6. After the cutter shaft and the cutter are installed, the rolling force should be adjusted properly and the gears should be rolled against the cutter with a relatively low cutting force in order to ensure the accuracy and improve the service life of the cutter.
7. During the gear rolling process, the lubricant should be applied properly to the cutter shaft and cutter in order to reduce abrasion and improve the life of the cutter.
8. After finishing the gear rolling process, the cutter should be taken out of the gear rolling tool, placed in a protective material, and stored in a dry place.
These are the installation requirements of the cutter shaft and cutter in the gear rolling process. It is important to pay attention to these installation requirements and ensure that the gear rolling process is carried out smoothly and efficiently.
