especially suitable because they correlate directly with the form and position of the contact pattern. For example, to displace the

contact pattern from the smaller to the larger diameter (toe to heel), the spiral angle difference is reduced; to lengthen

the contact pattern in the face width direction, the lengthwise crowning is reduced. 3.3.4 Additional Motions This section describes the

effects, on the ease-off, of higher order coefcients in the manufacturing kinematics. Visualization of the contact lines between the tool

Additional motions dependent on the respective cradle angle will act on all points of the generatrixes belonging to this, which are seen advancing diagonally from line to line across the tooth ank. In consequence, additional motions of the type created by higher order coefcients will modify the shape of the ank in the same diagonal direction. Modications along each generatrix can be achieved solely through the form of the tool. This principle applies irrespectively of the system of base functions employed in the manufacturing kinematics. For the case of series function of the tool rotation dependent on the cradle position or roll angle , the polynomial coefcients of the function produce the ank modications shown in Fig. 3.1: abm m 2 ...m 6:3 Tooth ank form modications are of particular interest for manufacturing methods in which both anks of tooth slot are machined in single cut. In such cases, the additional motions act on both anks, but in partly different di
