Pinion Bevel crashing during feed-in

[[Ni...]]

Hi,

 

We've been making many bevel programs and they've all been running fine so i am stuck when this one does not want to run properly.

Created a gear program for a pinion bevel part. 22 teeth. pressure angle of 25°. We filled in the data point for flank 1 and 2 which generated out model. We filled in the information like mounting distance.

Everything is filled in and looks good but when we run the program, it crashes during the feed-in.

Normally, during the feed-in, the probe will go into the part. If it goes in the gap, it will self-center and then complete the feed-in and move on to topography. If it goes in and lands on the topland of the part, it will move out then rotate halfway to the next teeth and then go in again to find the gap. then it will self-center and then complete the feed-in and move on to topography.

 

In this program, during the feed-in, the probe will go into the part. If it goes in the gap, it will move out then rotate halfway to the next teeth and then go in again to find the gap, but because it was already at the gap, it is now on the topland of the teeth so it will crash. It thinks it found the topland when it goes into the gap. I cannot fix this. i tried changing a lot of settings one by one to see what would fix the issue and the only thing that helped was changing the number of teeth from 22 to 11. but then it crashed during the topography because of the wrong amount of teeth.

One thing that helped was to make sure the probe is in front of the topland of the teeth before starting the program so during the feed-in it will touch the topland and then rotate halfway to the next teeth and then go into the gap. That seemed to bypass the issue but thats not how it normally works.

any help on this?

 

Thank you,

Hi, can you provide the .gear together with a picture of the gear and stylus system? Either you send a message or you reach out to your local ZEISS support team.
