GEAR WHEEL MEASURING TECHNOLOGY MOVES INTO SMALL WORKSHOPS

With its compact DuraMax 3D coordinate measuring machine, Carl Zeiss gear wheel measuring technology can be used close to production because it is suited for process control on the production floor for quick in-between inspections of small workpieces and for testing volume parts directly in production.

Using a compact DuraMax 3D coordinate measuring machine, this gear wheel measuring technology can be applied close to production because it is suited for process control on the production floor for quick in-between inspections of small workpieces and for testing volume parts directly in production.

The DuraMax Gear shop floor gear wheel measuring machine, a compact 3D coordinate measuring machine from Carl Zeiss,  introduces gear wheel measuring technology with small machines that can be used as close to production as possible, according to Alexander Dollansky, product manager at Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology.

The unit is suited for process control on the production floor, for quick in-between inspections of small workpieces, and for testing volume parts directly in production. Because of its accuracy, it is also ideal for many requirements in gear wheel measuring technology. The machine comes with the required software and hardware, including stylus material for a broad range of applications.

If the product being tested changes, standard inspection procedures often require new, expensive modifications. However, the DuraMax Gear is a CNC all-rounder that, when combined with CAD-based CALYPSO and GEAR PRO involute measuring software, quickly, easily and reproducibly measures all changes. This system is available as a tabletop machine or with an optional base. Its design enables part loading from four sides.

With CALYPSO measuring software and GEAR PRO involute, which was specially developed to measure spur gears, it is now possible to complete all jobs in daily gear measurement. This includes straight and slanted-tooth spur gears, and splines in accordance with the applicable standards. With the CALYPSO QS-STAT OUT log output option included with delivery, customers are well-equipped to assess processes using a comprehensive, statistical evaluation of quality information relevant to production.
