The Gear Skiving Process
Gear skiving, sometimes referred to as gear scudding, was developed over 100 years ago. Presently, it has become a viable manufacturing process with the optimization of new rigid and precise CNC machines that can synchronize the movements with high accuracy.
There are numerous unique skydiving processes, including power skiving and gear shaping (same tool geometry) or hard hobbing (also called skiving). Power skiving is a very fast process used to generate gear teeth – it combines principles of turning, hobbing, shaping and shaving. There is a cross-axis angle between helix angle of the part and helix angle of the tool, as in shaving cutters. This principle helps obtain a very low surface roughness with a high quality finish up to DIN 5 class.
What Is Gear Skiving and Its Advantages?
Gear skiving is a continuous cutting process that enables machining to be carried out in a single setup. The possibility to machine the complete component in a multi-task machine or machining center in one single set-up shortens production time, improves quality and reduces handling and logistics costs.
Advantages of Gear Skiving Tools
- Cycle time reduced by about 80% compared to gear shaping
- Pressure angle correction, tooth profile, and tooth thickness can be adjusted without cutter correction
- Our original design improves the tool life while maintaining work accuracy
