3rd Technical Seminar: Power Skiving

When will power skiving make the leap from newcomer to an established gear manufacturing process? High-performance machines for machining a wide range of workpieces, as well as geometrically precise tools with high-performance cutting materials and a durable coating, are already available. These conditions are urgently needed, as the market is increasingly demanding cost-effective processes for high-quality toothed components, such as internal gears in planetary gearboxes for electromobility.

For many users, power skiving is still associated with question marks, for example with regard to tool life and the associated tool costs that need to be calculated, as well as the optimal design of cutting parameters and cutting sequences. The process environment plays a crucial role in the successful mastery of power skiving. This includes topics such as tool presetting, regrinding procedures, and the compensation of geometrical errors. But also the successful answering of questions such as: Where do the chips go? Wet or dry machining? Or where do these vibrations come from?

Our technical seminar will address these questions and present possible solutions. Speakers from industry and research will report on the special features and application possibilities of power skiving. Manufacturers and users can expect a practice-oriented discussion of current requirements and possibilities from the perspective of the process, the tools, and the machine technology.
