This paper discusses Generative Gear Milling, an innovative software feature for gear cutting. The involute generative principle is based on an incremental positioning of a simple and inexpensive milling “disk” cutter with trapezoidal or parallel sides on the “line of action.” The paper outlines the needs for this procedure and the applications of generative milling. And, the author discusses the benefits of Generative Gear Milling, including improved efficiency; reduced cutter cost and delivery time; and expanded pitch range capability.
