Power Skiving Machine, 600PS

Gleason’s new Power Skiving range of 100PS to 600PS machines is part of a breakthrough solution for the skiving process. Power skiving concept is suitable for the highly productive manufacturing of cylindrical internal and external gears with outstanding gear quality and significant reductions in cost per piece, when compared with the gear shaping process, for example. Gleason’s tool concept gives the Power Skiving process unprecedented flexibility and simplicity of process management. This makes the process for gear diameters up to 700 mm, swing diameters up to 850 mm and modules up to 8 mm equally suitable for small lot production runs as well as mass production.
Main benefits:

• Productivity – a viable and cost-effective alternative to gear shaping and in many cases to other soft-machining processes, such as hobbing and broaching
• Quality – substantial and superior to other soft-machining methods
• Simplicity – process control is very simple and is supported by a dialog menu in the control unit
• Cutting tools – the right tool specifically for a given application and service for resharpening and maintaining the tools
• Process simulation – simulation tools calculate chip geometry, chip formation and contact geometries for each specific process step, allowing process design to be efficient and focused
