...Qi Fan Face-hobbing is a continuous generating process employed in manufacturing spiral bevel and hypoid gears. Due to machining dynamics and tolerances of machine tools, the exact tooth surface geometry may not be obtained from the machining process using theoretical machine tool settings...

... control (CNC) hypoid generator, both face-milling and face-hobbing cutting methods can be implemented on the same machine using a corresponding cutter head and NC code. Nevertheless, the machine settings and flank corrections of most commercial Cartesian-type machines are still translated from the virtual...
