1. General
A gear can be shaped (grind/cut) by the synchronization of the workpiece axis rotation to
the tool axis (grinding axis /hob) rotation by using two spindles as a tool axis and a
workpiece axis. To synchronize these two axes, the Electronic gear box (EGB) is used.
In the Spindle EGB, the synchronous pulse is produced from the feedback pulse of the
position detector attached to the tool axis (master axis) in the motor control, and the
workpiece axis (slave axis) rotates with the pulse. Feedback pulse from Master side to
Slave side is forwarded by the communication between spindle amplifiers.
The specifications of the Spindle EGB control are as follows:
1) The Spindle EGB synchronization is started by specifying T command
(number of teeth) and L command (number of hob threads), which
determine the synchronous ratio, in G81 block. The Spindle EGB
synchronization is canceled by specifying G80.
2) The synchronous ratio is calculated from T and L command in G81 block
and the number of position detector pulses per rotation about the tool and
the workpiece axis (parameter setting).
3) This function has the retract function like the hobbing function.
4) The cutting helical gear is performed by specifying Q command (module or
diametral pitch) and P command (gear helix angle) in G81 block.
5) The Spindle EGB synchronization is maintained regardless of whether the
operation is automatic or manual.
