The Horn gear skiving system includes tools for the highly productive
manufacture of internal gears, splines and other internal profiles as
well as external gears with interfering edges.

The most important advantages of gear skiving in these applications are the significantly shorter process times compared to gear shaping, the use on optimised turning/milling centres, turning and gear cutting in a single clamping operation and the elimination of undercuts at the end of the gearing. In addition, the usually more productive and cost-effective production compared to gear shaping and broaching and the four to five times shorter cycle time compared to slot shaping are convincing. This is also reflected in the possibility of hard machining gears to the full. The gear skiving tools are designed for gear cutting medium to large batches. Each tool is individually adapted to the application and the material to be machined, whereby the different tool interfaces are based on the number of teeth and module size.

Also for larger modules

For internal gears in particular, Horn offers the advantage of a short process time for larger modules, for example. Large and rigid milling/turning centres are required for the gear skiving of larger modules, which enable the corresponding synchronisation between the workpiece spindle and tool spindle. The larger the module, the more critical the machine is in terms of rigidity. This issue can be mitigated on the tool side by splitting the cut between the left and right flanks. After gaining experience with small solid carbide skiving tools, Horn utilised the expertise gained to also cover larger modules. Each application is checked for feasibility by the technicians before implementation and the tool design and recommendations for the process are discussed with the user.
