The gear slicing technology has a wide range of applications, not only for involute gear but also for non-involute gear such as circular arc. Previous research shows that gear slicing is very suitable for the production of an RV reducer with high efficiency and precision. In view of this, a design method for slicing cutter is proposed aiming at the circular arc tooth in pinwheel housing of an RV reducer, and the cutter manufacturing and gear slicing experiments have been done. Firstly, two kinds of rake faces are provided, including plane rake face and curved rake face. Then, the working rake angle and relief angle are calculated and analyzed, and a comparison is made, which indicates that the curved rake face is more reasonable in theory. According to the shape characteristics of this kind of surface, a point-grinding method is proposed using a single-sided bevel wheel. At last, the above two kinds of slicing cutters are designed based on the parameters of the pinwheel housing in an RV40E reducer and manufactured on a five-axis grinding machine. The cutting experiment shows that the machining precision is high enough to meet the requirement of the workpiece.

齿轮切片技术不仅在渐开线齿轮上而且在非渐开线齿轮（例如圆弧）上都有广泛的应用。先前的研究表明，齿轮切片非常适用于高效，高精度的RV减速器的生产。鉴于此，针对RV减速机的风车壳体中的圆弧齿提出了一种切刀的设计方法，并进行了切刀的制造和切齿实验。首先，提供两种前刀面，包括平面前刀面和弯曲前刀面。然后，对工作前角和后角进行了计算和分析，并进行了比较，这表明弯曲前角在理论上更为合理。根据这种表面的形状特征，提出了一种使用单面斜齿轮的点磨方法。最后，根据RV40E减速机中风车壳体的参数设计了以上两种切片刀，并在五轴磨床上制造。切削实验表明，加工精度可以满足工件的要求。
