112. Gear Generating Process Gear generation is based on the fact that “any two involute gears of the same module will mesh together” Gear teeth are generated in the gear blank because of the relative rolling motion of the cutter and the blank. One of the mating gears in a cutter which reciprocates and also rotates as a mating gear. Accurate tooth profile is generated in this process.
