Hypoid Gear with 3D Model
This system for hypoid gear design enables simulations of the processes such as dimension calculation, gear generation and tooth contact modification by using 3D model with an actual shape of the gear. It leads us to shorten the development period as well as reducing the cost for development. This system has two functions, the program of gear generative simulation and the program of tooth contact modified simulation. This system leads us to shorten the development period by preventing the failure in the process of gear generation and tooth contact modification at a workshop. Moreover, we can accumulate original gear development technologies by quantifying the know-how in the process of designing and manufacturing. This report describes features and effects of the system and presents the summary of the design system of a hypoid gear with a 3D model.
