Gears are fundamental components in countless applications across diverse industries. From the heavy machinery used in construction and agriculture to the precision engineering required by automotive companies and even the specialized needs of small gear shops, the production of high-quality gears is paramount to operational success.
Gear tooth profile grinding, also known as form grinding, is a finishing method used in gear manufacturing. It involves the use of vitrified bonded grinding wheels to modify or correct the profile of gear teeth, often after heat treatment. The grinding wheel runs between two opposing teeth, grinding both surfaces at the same time.
