The use of free form bevel gear generators was limited by theprocesses currently available to cut bevel and hypoid gears withface cutter heads. Since a free form cutting or grinding machinehas three rotational and three linear freedoms it is possible toperform all possible relative movements between the cutter and thework during the generation process. The universal motion concept isapplied to axes of the basic gear generation model only. It allowseach of them to change the setting during the generation processaccording a higher order function. This approach enables a freeform gear machine to produce an entire variety of modifications tothe flank surfaces.
