The rise of power skiving to a preeminent cylindrical gear cutting process has been one of the gear industry’s most compelling success stories in recent decades. What began many years ago as a promising, but specialized, cutting process alternative for cylindrical gears with challenging interference contours is now exceeding performance and application expectations across the board.
Power skiving has evolved from a complex and difficult-to-control cutting method into a viable alternative to traditional shaping or broaching. Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH’s Skiving3 technology package combines machines, tools, and processes to make gear skiving more efficient and flexible. This advancement enables manufacturers to machine a broad range of workpieces, from small to large batch sizes, making it suitable for both series production and contract gear manufacturing.
