✓ In gear Shapers, for shaping the cutter is used. The cutter is hardened disc shaped
and slightly dished at the bottom to facilitate cutting. The tooth has desired tooth
profile and pressure angle.
✓ The cutter is reciprocating with the required cutting speed and fed radially
plunge it for correct teeth depth by means of a CAM.
✓ A relieving mechanism enables the cutter to clear the work on non-cutting or
return Stroke. The continuous generation motion is obtained by feeding cutter
to full depth and rotating the cutter and the workpiece slowly in the exact ratio
of their respective number of teeth by means of chains of gears including change
gears. It could be seen that since an involute gear will roll with any other
involute gear will roll with any other involute gear of some normal base point.
Hence this principle is utilized in the gear shaper, for spur gear the reciprocating
motion is made parallel to the work axis, but for single helical gear the direction
of the cutting stroke follows a helical path and the cutter itself is provided with
helical teeth.
✓ Index change gears available:
