Regrinding of shaper cutters and power skiving cutters – for perfect gearing

Shaper cutters and modern power skiving cutters are among the most complex tools in gear cutting technology. Even minimal deviations in the involute lead to errors in the gearbox. With our state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC grinding centre we guarantee process-reliable refurbishment of your gear cutting tools – including wear analysis, profile correction and optional PVD recoating.

Process in 4 steps

  1. 1. Wear analysis

    We inspect the tool for micro-chipping and thermal overload and define the optimal material removal.

  2. 2. 5-axis CNC regrinding

    Exact reproduction of involute, profile, helix and clearance angles based on the stored target contour.

  3. 3. PVD recoating (optional)

    In one package: stripping and recoating (e.g. AlCrona, Balinit) for maximum tool efficiency.

  4. 4. Quality inspection & shipping

    Pitch, runout and profile check with documented inspection report, then ready-to-install return delivery.
