A method for dressing an essentially cylindrical grinding worm on a machine suitable for continuous generation grinding in the diagonal method. The dressing tool is an essentially cylindrical gear wheel, having an abrasive coating on the surface that effects the dressing, which is brought into engagement with the grinding worm to move relative to the grinding worm in axial direction of the same to profile the flanks of the grinding worm. A periodically alternating movement in axial direction of the dressing gear wheel is superimposed on the relative movement of the dressing gear wheel, with the wavelength of the oscillating relative movement being the same or smaller than the usable width of the grinding worm in its axial direction.

Method for dressing a grinding worm

A dressing tool for profiling the tip area of a threaded grinding wheel used for continuous generation grinding. Concave working faces () are arranged in a cylindrical surface of the dressing tool () and coated with an abrasive coating. The pitch (P) of said working faces () corresponds to the pitch of the grinding wheel (). The dressing tool () can be brought into rolling engagement with the grinding wheel () under crossed axes.
