Patent number: 11850671Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring a tool (1) for roll machining toothed workpieces, wherein a virtual contact points is calculator on a rounded virtual blade of a virtual tool. The relative orientation between the tool axis (B) and the measuring device (11) as well as a translational relative position between the tool and the measuring device are then calculated and adjusted on the basis of the calculated virtual contact point. The measurement is taken on the real blade in the adjusted relative orientation and relative position, and the measurement can be taken in particular using a cylindrical scanning means in the form of a laser beam, wherein the cylindrical scanning means tangentially contacts the virtual blade in the virtual contact point.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: REISHAUER AGInventors: Philipp Huber, Roger Kirsch, Hartmut Marx, Michael Mros, Michel Müller

Publication number: 20220288710Abstract: A machine tool is designed for the machining of rotary parts with groove-shaped profiles, in particular gears, by a generating method. On the one hand, a Y slide (200) is arranged on a machine bed (100), the Y slide being displaceable along a Y direction and carrying a workpiece spindle (210). The workpiece spindle drives a workpiece (220) to rotate about a workpiece axis (C). On the other hand, a Z slide (300) is arranged on the machine bed. The Z slide is arranged along a Z direction running parallel to a center plane (E1) spanned by the Y direction and the workpiece axis. An X slide (310) is arranged on the Z slide and can be displaced along an X direction relative to the Z slide (300). The X direction is perpendicular to the center plane. A tool spindle (320) is arranged on the X slide, which drives a tool to rotate about a tool axis. The tool spindle can be swiveled relative to the X slide in a swivel plane (E2), which runs parallel to the center plane, about a swivel axis (A).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: REISHAUER AGInventors: Roger KIRSCH, Michael MROS, Michel MÜLLER, Erwin SENNHAUSER

Publication number: 20220193838Abstract: An automation unit for handling component carriers has an enclosure for arranging components carriers within a first, a second and a third stacking space. The enclosure has a loading opening for the first stacking space, a transfer device for transferring component carriers between the stacking spaces, and a separating device to selectively separate or release the first stacking space inwardly. A safety system for an intervention area is at the loading opening to interrupt the operation of the automation unit if it detects an intervention. The safety system may switch to partial monitoring mode, to full monitoring mode after completion of an automated loading process or deactivate in a manual loading mode when the separating device separates the first stacking space. The safety system may switch to full monitoring mode before the separating device releases the first stacking space. The automation unit can be loaded both automatically and manually safely.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: FELSOMAT GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Roger Kirsch

Patent number: 11192197Abstract: A tool for hob peeling rotating workpieces having pre-machined teeth comprises a gear-wheel shaped main body and tooth-shaped cutting inserts (1.2) which at the end face in the region of the tip circle are disposed on the main body. Each cutting insert comprises at least one cutting tooth. The cutting tooth forms a cutting edge (6) which runs at least along one of the flanks of the cutting tooth, and a cutting face and a clearance face. The cutting face along the cutting edge is provided with a cutting face chamfer (7) which in relation to the cutting face (5.5) runs so as to be inclined by a chamfer angle. The chamfer angle varies along the cutting edge. Moreover, the cutting edge is rounded by a radius.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: REISHAUER AGInventors: Florian Hänni, Frank Haufe, Roger Kirsch, Hartmut Marx

Patent number: 8707528Abstract: The invention relates to a device for use in production of bevel gears. The device comprises a turning machine (22), with a working spindle (22.1) and a counter-holder (23), arranged co-axially to a rotational axis (B1) of the working spindle (22.1) for the coaxial tensioning of a workpiece blank (K1). A multi-functional tool holder (24) is provided, which may be displaced relative to the workpiece blank (K1) held in the turning machine (22) and comprises a tool base (25) mounted to rotate about an axis (B2). The tool base (25) is provided for fixing one or more tools. A tool housing (26) with milling head (27) is provided, the tool housing (26) being displaceable relative to the workpiece blank (K1) held in the turning machine (22) and the milling head (27) is mounted to rotate about a milling head axis (B3).Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Klingelnberg GmbHInventors: Klaus Ozdyk, Roger Kirsch, Elmar Hackenberger, Harald Lamsfuss, Torsten König

Patent number: 7927048Abstract: The invention relates to a device (20) comprising a workpiece spindle (21) for receiving a gear wheel (25), a tool spindle (29) for receiving a tool and several drives (X, Y, Z, B, C, A1) for machining the gear wheel in individual divisions. According to the invention, one tooth gap of the gear wheel is machined and then the tool is displaced in relation to the gear wheel in order to remove the tool from the tooth gap. The gear wheel is then rotated by a division and the tool is placed against the wheel again to machine another tooth gap. One of the drives (C) can be controlled in such a way that the relative displacement involves a tilting displacement, which modifies the relative angle between the tool and the gear wheel, the tilting displacement being co-ordinated with the displacement of a division.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2004Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Klingelnberg GmbHInventors: Jürgen Gumpl, Roland Dutschk, Roger Kirsch
