Development of the Dressing Software for Form Grinding Wheel Used for Grinding Involute Helical Gears

On the basis of establishing the mathematical model of grinding wheel profile by means of analytic method, the grinding wheel profile was determined. Different factors affecting gear form grinding was analyzed by means of numerical simulation. The form grinding wheel dressing software for grinding helical gear was developed, and the instruction for dressing grinding wheel profile was generated. Wheel dressing results show that the dressing software is correct and feasible.
