Article Abstract

Bevel gear transmission is characterized by strong load capacity, stable transmission, and compact structure. It is a key component in power transmission systems for vehicles, ships, machine tools, oil drilling equipment, aerospace, and other industries. Amid the rapid development of electrification, gears remain indispensable in mechanical systems. Bevel gears are typically machined using gear shaping or dual-cutter disk milling methods, which are efficient but require specialized machines, resulting in high procurement costs. These methods are also unsuitable for machining large gears or small-batch production. Inspired by the linear mechanism of the internal pendulum, this paper proposes a CNC machining method for straight bevel gears based on hypocycloid mechanisms. By leveraging the straight-line properties of hypocycloid motion, straight bevel gears are machined via milling or grinding on a five-axis machining center using the end-face hobbing method. This method transforms the traditional non-continuous machining into continuous indexing machining and enables CNC machining on a general five-axis machining center. This approach reduces the cost of specialized equipment and improves the efficiency of straight bevel gear manufacturing.

In this study, numerical modeling and experimental tests of the sheet metal cutting process were carried out in order to determine the shape of the cutting knives for a roller shear, ensuring the minimization of burr on the cut edge. A rolling mill was used for the tests, enabling the replication of the cutting process in a roller shear (demonstrating the possibility of using cutting rollers). The cutting edges of the sheets were examined using light microscopy and then compared with the results of numerical simulations to determine the cutting quality.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of different edge designs for occlusal veneers on maxillary first molars, emphasizing the need for standardized clinical protocols due to varying research outcomes.
  • The research involved creating 3D models of teeth and testing three edge designs (SFL, CFL, SCI) with varying thicknesses (0.5 mm and 1.0 mm), using finite element analysis to assess stress distribution under bite forces.
  • Results showed that increased veneer thickness raised stress in SFL and CFL designs, while SCI saw reduced stress; however, SCI also risked exceeding adhesive strength, suggesting potential issues with this design in clinical settings.*

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of different preparation designs and scan patterns on the accuracy of intraoral scans for complete-arch maxillary laminate veneers.

Materials And Methods: Three maxillary typodonts were used to obtain reference models with three different laminate veneer preparation designs: windows (W), beveled (B), and incisal overlap (IO). Reference scans were obtained with a desktop scanner.
