Gear grinding wheels / Worm wheels (for gear grinding / gear tooth grinding)
Worm wheels by Zische – ready profiled on request
Our pre-profiled worm wheels or gear grinding wheels are used in continuous generating gear grinding to grind gears or tooth flanks. The profile is brought into the vitrified bonded grinding wheel with help of diamond dressers in our special dressing machines.
Our highly porous worm wheels meet the special requirements of tooth flank grinding and simultaneously achieve cool grinding with high profile retention. We use specially developed bonds for this purpose. At your request, we can supply the gear grinding wheels either unprofiled in cylindrical form or pre-profiled for your application.
What is the difference between continuous generating grinding and discontinuous generating grinding?
Gear grinding is divided into continuous generating gear grinding and discontinuous generating grinding. In continuous generating grinding, the profiled grinding wheel and the workpiece perform a rolling movement so that an involute shape is created on the tooth flanks. The grinding wheel and the workpiece are in continuous contact and the workpiece is moved along the grinding wheel. In discontinuous generating grinding, one or a maximum of two tooth flanks are processed simultaneously. The tooth flanks are processed individually one after another. The profile of the grinding wheel corresponds to the desired finished profile of the workpiece.
Further information on generating gear grinding can be found in our grinding knowledge section under “Grinding processes / applications” section.
