Abstract

This data article gives the validation files to the article "CNC milling of face gears with a novel geometric analysis" [1]. The data is about the simulation and machining error analysis of the CNC milling of a face gear tooth with given tool paths. It includes four files. Three of them are simulation videos of the CNC milling process in VERICUT with a general view, partial view and enlarged view, respectively. The other one is the source file of the machining error analysis, and it has the design model of the face gear, the simulated machined model of the face gear, and machining error analysis according to the comparison of the design model and simulated machined model.

Keywords: CNC milling; Error analysis; Face gears; Simulation; Tool path.
