Gear manufacturers are still using old technology. Sandvik Coromant want to change that.
By Arthur Field
Power skiving was patented in 1919, but it’s only now that it’s truly accessible with modern machine synchronisation. Sandvik Coromant are leading that charge with gear gashing tools and power skiving solutions that let manufacturers complete gear teeth in a single machine, without shaping, hobbing, or broaching on a separate one.
Arthur Field of MTDCNC meets John Winter of Sandvik Coromant to explore why the less you touch a part, the more accurate it’s going to be and how Sandvik’s carbide substrate and coating technology is now being applied directly to their gear machining tooling.
The goal? Educate customers, elevate processes, and become the trusted advisor that guides them to the next level.
