Skiving

Skiving is a metal cutting process for the production of gear teeth, based on the patent of Wilhelm von Pittler from 1910. In recent years, thanks to the latest developments in manufacturing technology, the technology has emerged as an efficient and flexible alternative for the gear cutting of workpieces.

Skiving is used for the gear cutting of workpieces with interfering contours and thus replaces gear shaping. The process can be used for both internal and external gearings. In skiving, the workpiece and tool axes work in a continuous process, with the two axes at an angle to each other.

A characteristic feature of skiving is the oblique arrangement of the tool axis relative to the workpiece axis. This is referred to as the axis cross angle. Due to this adjustment of the tool, a defined axial feed and the coupled speed of the tool and the workpiece, a relative movement is created. This relative movement "peels" the tooth space out of the workpiece along the main cutting direction.

• As early as 1912, Wilhelm von Pittler filed a patent for power skiving of gears (or gear skiving). ...
• Machine development
• Use of skiving technology for dressing, development of the VSD VSD development
• Software support through ProAC and Skiving Calculator
• HRI process monitoring, data evaluation, process analysis
• Establishment of our own tool production
• Establishment of our own production
• Vario Chamfer
• In e-mobility, all gears are skived. We have been involved from the very beginning (early trials in 2015)
• Strong partnerships and our own experience through DVS Production (internal note: Audi front axle and rear axle). We pass this experience on to our customers.
• We have control over quality and undercut tolerances. Benefits for the customer: everything from a single source (entire production line, turning, soft machining, hard machining).
• We are involved in all transmission projects. We can show customized components as dummy examples (not actual components), but customers can identify the components.
• Everything from our own hands
• We invented it (Pittler)
