Gear geometry
Profile, lead, pitch or other characteristics specified for the part.
MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY
Gear Inspection & Precision Metrology
Gear tooth and dimensional inspection using gear measuring systems and coordinate measurement. Define the characteristics and reports required for your part.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
How this process is used
Gear inspection and dimensional inspection answer different questions. A tooth measurement examines the gear geometry; a coordinate or dimensional check examines journals, faces, bores and other interfaces. Both may be needed to establish a complete acceptance record.
The inspection base includes a Klingelnberg P26 gear measuring center, a Hexagon GLOBAL S coordinate measuring machine and Econ gear testing systems. The measurement plan is defined by the drawing, specified standard and agreed reporting requirements.
Component relationships
Runout, locating faces and journal-to-tooth datum relationships.
Project records
First-article or batch documentation agreed for the production stage.
PRODUCTION & MEASUREMENT RESOURCES
Production and inspection equipment
Klingelnberg P26

ROUTE PLANNING
Four decisions before production
Define acceptance
Identify the drawing revision, standard and special characteristics.
Map the measurement route
Separate tooth checks, dimensional checks and material-condition records.
Agree the report
Define sampling, units, traceability and record requirements.
Review results
Compare the measured characteristics with the controlled acceptance limits.

What to Include in a Gear Drawing Package
A gear drawing package should define the teeth, the mounting interfaces and the relationship between them.
