This paper will present a novel work for spiroid and worm gearsthat mathematically calculates the gear tooth profile in terms ofthe geometry of the machining tool (hob) and the machining setup.Because of similarity, the work was also expanded to spiral bevelgear. We have developed software to plot the gear tooth when theparameters of the geometry of the tool and machining setup areentered. The gear tooth shape can then be altered and optimized bymanipulating the input parameters until a desired tooth profile isproduced. In effect, the result will be designing the hob andmachining setup for best gear tooth profile on the computer.Afterward, the generated gear tooth data are entered into CADsoftware to generate a true 3D model of the gear. The tool pathwill also be generated from the data for CNC machining instead ofhobbing.
