The tooth flank shape of plunge gear honing wheel is extraordinarily complex

it is difficult to accurately describe by the analytical method

the analytical calculation of grinding capacity is more difficult.Through three-dimensional modeling software UG/NX

the parametric model of the workpiece gear is realized

the spatial positional relationship between the workpiece gear with a honing wheel blank is established

the process of radial gear honing wheel is simulated

aprecise radial gear honing wheel solid modeling is successfully obtained

and ultimately

the single the tooth flank grinding capacity is got.By analyzing the conclusion

in the middle of the tooth width grinding capacity is at maximum

and more closer to the edge of the tooth width

the smaller the amount of grinding capacity and grinding capacity data base showing on symmetrical about middle transverse section

tooth profile grinding capacity as the decrease of the radius decreases

it is indicating that the radial gear honing wheel tooth profile is not the involute

but closer to the tooth root of the tooth thickness is greater tooth

and this can increase the honing wheel strength and life of the tool.This study laid the foundation for the manufacture of plunge gear honing wheel.
