Analysis of Errors in the Form of a Part in Forming of Polyhedra by a Planetary Gear with the Use of Methods from the Geometric Theory of Cutting

Abstract

Methods of forming polyhedral (multifaceted) surfaces by means of a planetary plotting device and a technique of determining the error are presented. Through the use of the obtained data, an analysis of error in the geometric form of a produced part as a function of the overall dimensions and number of facets is performed. The results of the study may be used in the development of design and production documentation in the training of the production of parts containing multifaceted surfaces to assure specified characteristics of an article.
