Abstract

A system and method for machining a workpiece to provide a toothed member having a desired tooth pattern. A cutting tool machines the workpiece to a first depth, thereby forming a semi-finished tooth pattern, the first depth less than a full depth to which the workpiece is to be machined to provide the desired tooth pattern. Dimensions of the semi-finished tooth pattern are acquired and compared to nominal dimensions. If the acquired dimensions are not within a tolerance of the nominal dimensions, the geometry of the cutting tool is modified for correcting deviations of the acquired dimensions from tolerance and the workpiece further machined by the modified cutting tool. Once the dimensions of the semi-finished tooth pattern are within tolerance, the workpiece is machined to the full depth for providing the desired tooth pattern.
