Portable Robot Arm CMM
A portable robot arm CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) is a lightweight, articulated measuring arm which aids in performing 3D measurements, on the shop floor, in inspection labs, or in field applications.

Analytical Gear Checking
Analytical gear checking the process of measuring and evaluating the geometry of a gear using parameters to determine how accurately it matches its design intent. Precision measurement instruments are used to measure a gear’s geometry and deviations from the ideal shape.

Double Flank Testing
In a Double Flank Testing system, a gear is meshed against a near-perfect master gear such that both the leading and trailing edge of the teeth contact without backlash. The test can evaluate errors such as radial runout, composite errors, and transmission errors.
-
Single Flank Testing
In a Single Flank Testing system, a gear is meshed against a near-perfect master gear such that only the leading or trailing edge is contacted. Rotary encoders precisely measure the actual angle compared to the desired angle. The test can evaluate the gear teeth flanks independently and can help identify the source of issues such…

Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM)
A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) provides precise measurement of the dimensions and geometry of physical objects. A probe or sensor detects points on the object’s surface, and the 3D position of each point is recorded. From this point cloud, the object’s features can be mapped in relatively high resolution, and dimensions can be extracted for product design, quality…
