Event

Based on the gearing theory, manufacturing processes and machine technologies for producing gearings, the needs of modern gear manufacturing will be discussed in the lecture. For this purpose, various processes for various gear types are taught which represent the state of the art in practice today. A classification in soft and hard machining and furthermore in cutting and non-cutting technologies will be made. For comprehensive understanding the processes, machine technologies, tools and applications of the manufacturing of gearings will be introduced and the current developments presented. For assessment and classification of the applications and the performance of the technologies, the methods of mass production and manufacturing defects will be discussed. Sample parts, reports from current developments in the field of research and an excursion to a gear manufacturing company round out the lecture.

Learning Outcomes:

The students …

• can describe the basic terms of gearings and are able to explain the imparted basics of the gearwheel and gearing theory.
• are able to specify the different manufacturing processes and machine technologies for producing gearings. Furthermore they are able to explain the functional principles and the dis-/advantages of these manufacturing processes.
• can apply the basics of the gearing theory and manufacturing processes on new problems.
• are able to read and interpret measuring records for gearings. are able to make an appropriate selection of a process based on a given application
• can describe the entire process chain for the production of toothed components and their respective influence on the resulting workpiece properties.
