Apparatus and method for skiving first and second work pieces using the same skiving tool to machine both work pieces. Flank cutting edges of the skiving tool subjected to a stronger load during machining of the first work piece are subjected to a lesser load during machining of the second work piece and vice versa. Accordingly, a substantially uniform load is subjected to both flank cutting edges overall, resulting in improved uniformity of wear to both flank cutting edges.

Semi-completing skiving method and device having corresponding skiving tool for executing a semi-completing skiving method

Method and an apparatus for setting up and plunging a skiving tool with respect to a work piece, on which a rotational-symmetric, periodic structure is to be manufactured with application of the skiving tool, wherein a radial feed motion in the direction of the work piece is performed, so to bring the skiving tool in contact with the work piece for the first time, and the skiving tool is plunged from the moment of the first contact down to a predetermined depth in a radial plunging movement, before the proper skiving of the rotation-symmetric, periodic structure is carried out.

Robust method for skiving and corresponding apparatus comprising a skiving tool

A skiving tool for manufacturing a rotationally symmetrical periodical structure on a work piece by means of a power skiving method. The skiving tool comprises a base body comprising a central rotation axis and a plurality of receiving openings and a plurality of cutter bars, fewer than or equal to the number of receiving openings. Each of the receiving openings has an elongate shape having a longitudinal axis, and the receiving openings can be arranged uniformly around the central rotation axis. The longitudinal axes of the receiving openings are generators of a rotation hyperboloid, which is arranged rotationally symmetrical to the central rotation axis.
