In this article,in order to efficiently process the face gears on the domestic CNC spiral bevel gear milling ma-chines,the tooth-surface equation for the ideal straight-tooth face gear is derived,and the kinematics model of the face gear's skiving process is set up.According to both the gear tool design manual and the principle of the face gear's skiving process,the skiving cutter is designed.VERICUT is used to carry out the simulation and processing experiments;thus,it is verified that the method is feasible to process the face gears.According to the simulation results,the cutter structure is...
