Abstract

An apparatus for grinding gears having an involute-shaped tooth flank profile, wherein there are accomplished between a dished or plate-shaped grinding wheel and the gear teeth to-and-fro generating movements as well as feed or advance movements in the tooth lengthwise direction, adjustment movements for compensating for the wear of the grinding wheel, and, finally, indexing movements. The grinding wheel is advanced between two respective indexing movements, independently of the magnitude of the adjustment needed for compensating for wear of the grinding wheel, by such an amount towards the tooth root that also such tooth root is ground.
