Abstract

Digital closed-loop manufacturing technique, as a significant component of spiral bevel gear manufacturing system, has provided significant guarantee for improving the quantity and efficiency of spiral bevel gear tooth surfaces. The continuous fusion of digital closed-loop manufacturing and network technologies open a new route for the high-efficiency and high-precision manufacturing of spiral bevel gears. In order to realize the integrated operation and the information management in closed-loop manufacturing process of spiral bevel gears, this paper presents a universal networked closed-loop manufacturing model for spiral bevel gears by combining gear digital closed-loop manufacturing technologies and network technologies, which offers better support for the integrated design and machining of spiral bevel gear tooth surfaces. In this paper, the typical digital closed-loop manufacturing process of spiral bevel gears is deeply analyzed, and the framework of networked closed-loop manufacturing model is proposed. Furthermore, the integrated operation mechanism of networked closed-loop manufacturing model is established. On this basis, the key implementation mechanism of networked closed-loop manufacturing model such as the communication network construction, manufacturing information integration mechanism, and networked closed-loop manufacturing integration system development is elaborated respectively. Finally, an actual application experiment of spiral bevel gear pair networked closed-loop manufacturing is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the proposed model.
