This report uses an application case to demonstrate the optimization potential of gear skiving in the production of internal splines on a universal machining center. The process established in the example is then analyzed using the software tool OpenSkiving developed by the wbk Institute of Production Science of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the results are discussed. Finally, the most important findings are summarized.

Sandvik has signed an agreement to acquire esco GmbH engineering solutions consulting, a German-based supplier of software for power skiving, an important technology within gear machining. Esco’s software solutions supports design, production and quality inspection in the main area of gear manufacturing. The company will be reported in Sandvik Coromant, a division within Sandvik Manufacturing and Machining Solutions.
