A machining method of large-sized spiral bevel gears in cyclo-palloid system has been developed using a computer numerical control (CNC) machining center. As a result of trial machining, the tooth surfaces were rough and leprous tool mark occurred. Therefore, the tooth surfaces were polished using a poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA) elastic grindstone after machining in order to improve the surface roughness and the occurrence of leprous tool mark. However, the wear and clogging of the elastic grindstone occurred after polishing. In this paper, the tooth surfaces of the large-sized spiral bevel gears are polished using a radial bristle brush instead of a PVA elastic grindstone. The swarf cutting that was machined by the side of a tool was carried out in polishing in order to make the life of the radial bristle brush. After polishing, the tooth surface was observed and the surface roughness was measured. Afterwards, the surface roughness and the occurrence of leprous tool mark before and after polishing were compared. As a result, the surface roughness and the occurrence of leprous tool mark were improved. |
