Supports gear production
Kisssoft provides a range of helpful support for the production of gears throughout the entire design process.
When grinding crowned helical gears, an unwanted twist is generated due to the manufacturing process. This can be simulated in advance in Kisssoft release 03/2018 (module ZY6), and the influence on the flank contact can be evaluated with the contact analysis.
When designing hardened and ground gears, the position and rounding radius of the grinding notch must be taken into account in order to avoid excessive stress. In addition to the ISO 6336 standard and the 2D FEM (module ZA24), an evaluation with 3D FEM (module ZA37) is available in Kisssoft: This is based on the exact load distribution across the tooth width and enables the consideration of crowning and axial misalignments on the load distribution, which results in a much more accurate analysis of the stresses across the tooth width.
According to the company, the grinding notch can be avoided or significantly reduced by using protuberance cutters. The protuberance can be specified in Kisssoft both on the reference profile and on the tool (hobbing cutter, cutting wheel) and can be checked in numerous graphics for gearing, tool and production.
