Abstract

In this paper, the production of a logarithmic spiral bevel gear prototype is illustrated by the manufacture of the gear pinion. Firstly, the conical gear body of a logarithmic spiral bevel gear pinion was shaped on a C6140A1 lathe. A kinematic model of a five-axis vertical machining centre DMG DMU40 monoBLOCK, with the position and orientation of each axis relative to the movement of the workpiece, was created. In addition, the processing coordinate transformation formula between the workpiece coordinate system and the cutter coordinate system was devised. The cutter location file was converted to the numerical control code of the DMG DMU40 monoBLOCK. Finally, the pinion of a logarithmic spiral bevel gear was machined on the DMG DMU40 monoBLOCK as a prototype to be used in further research of the logarithmic spiral bevel gear.
