Depending on annual production volumes, batch sizes and workpiece geometry several gear manufacturing technologies are used for industrial gear production. Most applicated is the hobbing process, followed by broaching, shaping, sintering and rolling processes. Upcoming gear manufacturing processes are power skiving, forging, precision blanking and cold forging. Due to improvements on the numerical control of direct drive technology the power skiving process has become a competitive gear manufacturing process in comparison to shaping, blanking and broaching. The potentials of the reinvented power skiving process will be explained by production volume analyses, achievable gear quality and gear geometrymodifications. Also the economical and environmental friendly aspect of the power skiving process will be explained.
