Skive turning is a method of producing complex shapes without CNC interpolation of 2 axes. The profile shape is built into the cutting tool, allowing simpler machine movements and minimal tooling or tool changes.

The machine shown comprised of the following:

• Bar feeder to load bar stock material
• CNC Skiving machining centre consisting of 3 axes for profiling, drilling, facing, parting, part catching & bar stopper
• Back chamfer unit to add the chamfer after parting
• Part conveyor through steam cleaner
• Ring steam knife cleaning system
• Rotary cooling conveyor
• Packing into plastic bags with part diverter
• Integrated swarf shredding and briquetting system
• Machining using Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL)
