ZeroTouch® Application Notes: Gear Inspection

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the ZeroTouch non-contact 3D gear in-line inspection system developed by DWFritz Metrology, a subsidiary of DWFritz Automation. This system is designed for high-speed, accurate measurement of helical gears in real-time, enhancing production efficiency and accuracy.

Key Measurements
  • The system generates a high-density, micron-level point cloud by measuring the entire part surface.
  • Inspection is completed in 30 seconds, significantly faster than traditional tactile methods which take 10 minutes.
  • ZeroTouch measures all surfaces on every gear tooth in 3D and identifies surface defects.

Specifications
  • Gear Dimensions: External ring up to 300 mm in diameter, part height up to 40 mm.
  • Inspection Speed: Approximately 30 seconds per cycle.
  • Tolerances: Between 5-10μm.
  • Surface Defect Detection: Minimum defect size of 50μm.
  • Measurements: Includes profile evaluations (Fα-fHα-ffα-Cα), helix evaluations (Fβ-fHβ-ffβ-Cβ), pitch and roundness evaluations (Fp-fp-Fr), and diameter over balls (Mdk).
  • System Dimensions: 2,000 x 1,000 x 2,000 mm (W x D x H).
  • System Weight: 1,500 kg (3,300 lbs).

Applications
  • The system is applicable in industries such as aerospace, precision manufacturing, and automotive.

ZeroTouch® Application Notes: Gear Inspection-1

NON-CONTACT 3D GEAR IN-LINE INSPECTION SYSTEM Our client sought a new solution that would accurately measure all of the helical gears produced in real time. • ZeroTouch measured the entire part surface, generating a high-density, micron-level point cloud. • ZeroTouch executed the inspection plan in just 30 seconds versus the tactile methods, which took 10 minutes. • ZeroTouch measured all surfaces on every gear tooth in 3D and identified surface defects too.
