Abstract
Gear trains are a key element in the transmission of torque and rotational speed of rotating parts. Technological progress, and five-axis machining in particular, is an interesting and still little-known alternative in the production of this type of kinematic nodes in relation to traditional methods. This paper presents the issue and describes the kinematics of the tool operation in an innovative method of shaping five-axis gears by means of the peripheral milling method. The influence of geometry and material on the selection of the tool and its technological parameters was taken into account. A simulation analysis of the cut layer cross-sections and surface topography was carried out. It was shown that the machining direction was of great importance in the described method.
