Cutting tool Scudding®

The Scudding tools are the result of an alliance between Profilator, Star-SU and us for the global market. The scudding®/power skiving is a continual gear cutting process which makes both the production of external and internal gears as well as spur and helical gearing possible. This technology allows the machining of internal or external gears/splines without the need of an undercut or groove. The end of the gear can be a defined programmed ramp of radius. This process is quicker and more productive. In fact, the high number of cuts per time unit not only leads to a very short cycle time, but it also produces high quality gears with a low surface roughness.
