Patent ID: 7927048

Claim:
Method for machining a gear wheel ( 25 ) with a device ( 20 ) comprising a workpiece spindle ( 21 ) for receiving the gear wheel ( 25 ), a tool spindle ( 29 ) for receiving a tool ( 23 ) and plural drives (X, Y, Z, B, C, A 1 ) for machining the gear wheel ( 25 ) using the tool ( 23 ), with the following steps: machining a tooth gap in the gear wheel ( 25 ) using the tool ( 23 ) by carrying out a machining movement, carrying out a relative movement between the tool ( 23 ) and the gear wheel ( 25 ) to remove the tool ( 23 ) from the tooth gap, carrying out an indexing rotation to transfer the gear wheel ( 25 ) into a different angular position, machining a further tooth gap in the gear wheel ( 25 ) using the tool ( 23 ) by repeating a machining movement, characterized in that the relative movement is a tilting movement by means of which a relative change in angle between the tool ( 23 ) and the gear wheel ( 25 ) is achieved.
