Combining power skiving and turning – For complex gear cutting solutions
For many gear manufacturers, power skiving is getting very interesting, since the technique is much faster than shaping and more flexible than hobbing and broaching. However, the technique was considered quite complex. Against this backdrop, the new development by EMAG is a game changer. Firstly, with the VSC 400 PS, the operator makes only a few data entries. Secondly, the VSC 400 PS can be equipped with up to four power skiving tools and six turning tools. More...
