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 geometry modifications. Also
the economical and environmental friendly aspect of the power skiving process will be explained.
