This method assumes knowledge the analytical fom of the in-planes tajectoies descibed by the points onto the pofiles to be geneated. These tajectoies ae known in the efeence system of the geneating tool, which may be a ack-gea, a gea-shaped o a otay cutte tool. The envelope of these tajectoies epesents the pofile of the geneating tool. An oiginal method fo detemining the enveloping condition is pesented in this pape. Application fo odeed culing of non-involute pofiles wee developed based on the specific enveloping condition. A new solution is poposed. This solution uses the capabilities of the CATIA gaphical envionment. Gaphical solutions ae poposed vesus analytical solutions in ode to validate the poposed method. 1. INTRODUCTION The issue of ack-gea tool pofiling is solved based the Olivie theoem I [4] and, also, based on the Gohman theoem [4],[5],[8]. N v 0 (1) In equation (1), N is the nomal diection to the pofile to be geneated, in the suface s own efeence system and v is a vecto with the same diection as the velocity in the elative motion between the ack-gea tool and the suface to be geneated. The analytical solution of this poblem is univesal and leads to igoous esults. Complementay theoems wee elaboated concening this issue [5]: the method of the family of the substitution cicles and the method of the minimum distance.

These foms may epesent intuitive images of the enveloping pocess. The in-plane tajectoies method [8] was developed at Dunaea de Jos Univesity of Galaţi, by a eseach team diected by pofesso Nicolae Oancea and associate pofesso Vigil Teodo and was pesented as pat of doctoal thesis of Vigil Teodo. This method is a specific solution fo which the autho pesent applications based on a specific enveloping condition. The issue of geneation with tools associated with a pai of olling centodes is a pemanent concening as is pesented in specialized liteatue. An oiginal enveloping condition fom is poposed in this pape. The enveloping condition is detemined stating fom the pocess of slotting with the ack-gea tool. 2.

Accoding to the Willis theoem [4], the necessay and sufficient condition fo the pofile C admits an enveloping cuve is that the pependiculas to the C pofile pass though the geaing pole. The geaing pole is the tangency point between the two centodes C 1 and C 2, see Fig. 1. The coodinates of geaing pole in the ξη efeence system ae, see Fig. 2:

Also, the equation (11) allows detemining the δ scala value which epesents the distance fom the cuent point of the C tajectoy to the geaing pole.

The ack-gea tool s pofile may be defined as the enveloping of the assembly of cuves which epesents the in-plane geneating tajectoies of the points fom the geneated pofile. These tajectoies ae descibed in the ack-gea tool s own efeence system, ξη: T u cos sin X u R.

Indeed, the δ scala value is measued onto the nomal diection to the geneating tajectoy of a point fom the pofile C Σ. This nomal diection passes though the geaing pole and, as a consequence, the value of the δ paamete epesents the minimum distance fom the tajectoy to this pole. 3. APLICATIONS In the following, applications of the in-plane geneating tajectoies method ae pesented fo the detemination of the ack-gea pofile. A gaphical methodology is developed in connection with these applications. 3.1.

The absolute movements of the efeence systems joined with the C 1 and C 2 centodes ae give by equations (2) and (3). The elative motion is defined by: T 3 X A.

GRAPHICAL APPLICATION In ode to solve the geneating issue, a mechanism was constucted, epoducing the geneating movements when machining with ack-gea tool. The mechanism is composed fom thee elements: tool, which is defined as fixed element; piece, which has the elative motion egading the tool and base which assue the elative position of the two peviously pesented elements. The joint between tool and piece is on type ack, composed fom a pismatic joint (between tool and base) and a evolute joint (between base and piece). The mechanism simulation was done in the DMU Kinematics module of the CATIA softwae, using the simulation command. Consequently, this simulation was compiled ( compile simulation command) and was saved fo futhe eplay. The tajectoies of points fom the piece s pofile wee dawn using the tace command. The points which ae neaest to the geaing pole and belong to each tajectoy wee identified in the Geneative Shape Design module, using the extemum pola command. These points ae tangency points between the cuves family and its enveloping. The tool s pofile was obtained as a spline cuve which admits as contol points the peviously detemined points. The identity between these points and those obtained by analytical way is obviously. 4. CONCLUSION The method of geneating tajectoies is based on the geaing basic theoem the Willis theoem. The family of tajectoies is geneated by the points of the geneating pofile, in the elative motion egading the ack-gea. The tool s pofile esults as enveloping of a geneating tajectoies family. A gaphical method was pesented. This method is developed in the CATIA design envionment. It is simple and easy to apply due to the capabilities of the CATIA softwae. The gaphical method is based on the capability of this softwae to daw tajectoies of points which belongs to specific mechanism.
