<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/ueditor/php/upload/image/20221129/1669706234799616.png" title="1669706234799616.png" alt="3.png"/></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Esco, technology partner for process digitization in the gear and cutting tool industry, is expanding its software offering with the new eSkiving.FS module for effective feasibility studies in gear skiving. At the same time, the company is introducing ePP, a comprehensive software platform that includes eSkiving.FS to provide seamless support in all areas of the gear skiving process.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">New eSkiving.FS software module</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Gear manufacturers often need additional know-how and more transparency about the skiving process to avoid errors and lengthy optimization loops. With this in mind, esco has developed the eSkiving.FS software module, which enables users to validate and optimize gear manufacturing right at the beginning of the process chain. The new module is suitable for use in both gear development and gear production planning. eSkiving.FS offers all the necessary features for application-specific feasibility studies and enables efficient implementation of gear skiving as gear manufacturing process:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Parameter-based generation of the gear geometry</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Simulation of&nbsp;skiving kinematics</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Generation of the basic geometry for the skiving tool&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Collision detection: import of surrounding component geometries through 3D or easy parameterisation&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Simulation of gear skiving in 3D (&quot;virtual machining&quot;)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Definition of the cut distribution and estimation of main machining time for skiving</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Output of the basic tool geometry and all relevant parameters for the detailed skiving tool design on the basis of the feasibility study</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">New ePP software platform</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">With the latest addition to its software offering, esco now provides a platform that allows all developers and users involved to access a common information base. The ePP software platform ensures seamless data communication throughout the entire skiving process and supports the successful introduction and implementation of gear skiving. With the launch of eSkiving.FS in November 2022, the ePP software platform comprises five seamless interlinked modules:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">eSkiving.FS&nbsp;(Feasibility Studies): module for conducting feasibility studies</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">eSkiving.TD&nbsp;(Tool Design): module for tool design based on the manufacturing simulation of Skiving</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">eSkiving.TA&nbsp;(Technology Analysis): module for the analysis of technologically relevant parameters (requires eSkiving.TD)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">eSkiving.AS&nbsp;(Application Support): module for application optimization on-site (requires eSkiving.TA)&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">eSkiving.TP&nbsp;(Tool Production): module for the manufacturing of skiving cutters</span></p><p><br/></p>
