Abstract


All movable gears which mesh with another gear require either rounding or chamfering. The operation is generally applied to the teeth of spur gears for use in sliding gear transmission of automotive vehicles and machine tool Gear boxes where the gears are moved on their longitudinal axes meshing with another spur gear. In current scenario the mechanically operated machines require lot of settings, which is time consuming and requires one or two trial runs before production takes place. CNC machines are also available to carry out chamfering/rounding process but are expensive than traditional approach. The objective is to remove all these hassles and make a machine affordable and adjusted easily to manufacturers. The design of gear tooth rounding/chamfering machine has been presented in the paper. Necessary design calculations are performed and the layout of the machine is proposed.
