M3: Coupled axes
8.4 Electronic gear (EG)
8.4.9.2
Extended example with non-linear components
Introduction
The following example extends the example (see "Figure 8-10 Definition of axes on a gear
hobbing machine (example) (Page 359)") with the following:
● Machine error compensations which are not linearly dependent on the Z axis, and
● a Z-axis dependent component with tooth geometry.
This can be used to create a slightly convex tooth surface, so that the centre of the tooth
is stressed more than the edges during operation.
