Analytic Inspection System for Gears and Gear-Cutting Tools

Gleason’s 175GMS analytical gear inspection system offers complete inspection of automotive, aerospace and other smaller gears, as well as gear-cutting tools and non-gear parts. A Renishaw 3D scanning probe head provides accuracy and flexibility for inspecting gears and gear-cutting tools, particularly finer-pitch gears. The system includes surface finish measurement and prismatic feature measurement.

The 175GMS system features the Windows 7-based Gleason GAMA 3.0 applications software suite. The user interface offers simple input screens for programming workpieces and cutting tool data, and built-in tutorial information for gear features with text, pictures and video that can be edited by the user. The remote control I/O system improves movement optimization and reduces cycle times for inspecting virtually any gear or gear tool.

The system’s workstation can be optionally equipped with an advanced operator interface that features an environmental monitoring station for recording temperature and humidity; video, note pad and voicemail messaging; and Gleason Connect for enhanced remote diagnostic support, creation of work instructions, online training tools, multilingual communication and more.
