CNC specialist Num has further extended the functionality of its renowned NUMgear family of gear production technology with the addition of an extremely flexible software option for power skiving.
Num’s new power skiving option provides the enabling technology for CNC machine tool companies to address a key market opportunity in the nascent compact gearbox manufacturing industry. It is now possible to create an entirely new generation of gear production automation that offers combined hobbing and skiving capabilities on a single machine. Gear manufacturers currently employ a variety of machining processes, including hobbing, shaping, broaching and grinding. To a large extent, the processes that are used are dictated by the type and size of the gears and splines being produced.
