HOBBING FUNCTION
General(G80.4, G81.4)
Gears can be cut by turning the workpiece (C–axis) in sync with the rotation
of the spindle (hob axis) connected to a hob. Also, a helical gear can be cut
by turning the workpiece (C–axis) in sync with the motion of the Z–axis (axial
feed axis).
Format
G81.4 R_ L_ Q_ P_ ;
R : Number of teeth (specifiable range: 1 to 500)
L : Number of hob threads (specifiable range: 1 to 30 with a sign)
- The sign of L specifies the direction of rotation of the C–axis.
- If L is positive, the C–axis rotates in the positive direction (+).
- If L is negative, the C–axis rotates in the negative direction (–)
Q: Module or diametral pitch
For metric input, specify a module.
(Units = 0.00001 mm; specifiable range = 0.01 to 25.0 mm)
For inch input, specify a diametral pitch.
(Units = 0.00001 inch
–1
; specifiable range = 0.01 to 250.0 inch
–1
)
P : Gear helix angle
(Units = 0.0001 deg; specifiable range = –90.0 to +90.0 deg)
P and Q must be specified when a helical gear is to be cut.
G80.4
;
Cancels synchronization between the hob axis and C-axis.
