자유곡선 기어의 창성 알고리즘에 관한 연구

This study suggests an algorithm for tooth profile generation of free form curve involute gear, a special gear, of which the pitch line is a free curve instead of a circular one. For the first, a methodology for calculation of the tooth curve is developed and formulated. Then the formulated algorithm is programmed for manufacturing and verified by computer graphics. Next, the calculated results are changed into NC codes to apply to wire electric discharge machine(WEDM). Finally, the machined gear is examined in engagement with a standard involute gear.
