USING THE 3D MODEL IN THE MANUFACTURING AND CONTROL PROCESS OF THE CYCLOID PROFILE WHEELS
Abstract
In the vibroacoustic performances of the cycloid gear reducer, major influences have the technological parameters: the shape errors of the wells’ tooth and the roughness of the active cycloid profile. The classic manufacturing process of the cycloid profile involves important technological problems. Therefore, in this paper we propose a computational method of manufacturing the cycloid real profile of the cycloid wheels, also a control process, based on the theoretical 3D model obtained in CAD program. The same computational method can be used in generating and control process of other complex profile assuring the precision of the real profile related to the theoretical 3D model. Key words: cycloid gear’ profile, 3D solid, Coordinate centre 3D, Coordimeter 3D.
