Intelligent improvement of gear hobbing process based on the TRIZ method

Abstract Gear hobbing is currently one of the most widely used gear processing technologies. Still, due to its involvement in multiple processing parameters, coupling of influencing factors, and limitations in technical conditions, many problems need to be improved in the gear hobbing process. This article uses the TRIZ innovative method to conduct a systematic functional analysis and contradiction analysis of the gear hobbing process, proposes a series of intelligent and innovative methods, and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed set of innovative methods through the on-site application of the final ideal solution.
