Description

For involute tooth forms, the output in 2D DXF format is possible with various setting options. The DXF output is available for single cylindrical gear (external/internal), cylindrical gear pairs, planetary gear trains, three- and four-gear train systems, gear racks, involute splines.

Depending on the calculation module, there are different setting options. In addition to the output of the tooth forms of the tooth space as points, lines, polylines and circular arcs and a minimum point distance that can be predefined if required, the tooth can now also be output instead of the tooth space. In addition, the angular position can be specified for this. Furthermore, the user can define the number of teeth to be output. The tooth form contour can be exported either as a block definition or without grouping as a block. This makes further processing easier, depending on the CAD or CAM system.

In addition, the tooth form can now also be projected onto a specified tilted plane. For this purpose, the user can specify an appropriate angle for the tilted projection plane. For helical gears, the tooth form can also be output as a tooth space in normal section as an alternative to transverse section. In addition, it is now also possible to output the cutter profile in normal section when calculating the gear tooth form with a hob.
