Abstract:A new method of computing the cutter specifications and machine settings for the manufacture of spiral bevel and hypoid gears is studied. And a software system which includes the program models of new and old methods is developed. The system can perform the computations such as blank dimensions,cutting and grinding settings,tooth contact analysis and under cut check of SGM,SFM,SGT,SFT,HGM,HFM,HGT,HFT cutting methods. The new method can allow the user to give the position and length of contact pattern,the direction of contact path and the relative anglar acceleration. The system can be easily operated.
