The mechanical treatment of the tooth flanks encompasses the following work steps:
Tooth flanks– measurement/profile generation
Milling off progressive pitting
Grinding off burs and chamfering edges
Smoothening tooth flanks by grinding
Documenting work steps with pictures and text
Possibly making silicone impressions of some tooth flanks for the customer to keep (for condition comparison later)
Preparing running-in lubrication
The mechanical treatment used for these drives is based on material removal. Deviations in the tooth shape, material distortions, loose particles, plastic deformation as well as cold- and hot-welding faults are repaired first by rough-, then by fine-grinding, to restore the original tooth profile.
