Solution Proposal from Mitutoyo

Are You Satisfied with Your Current Gear Testing Machine?

　 -Gear measurement and evaluation software for CMM　 GEARPAK Express

The gear industry is currently experiencing increased demand driven by several factors, including the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) which require specialized, high-precision gears, and the growing automation and robotics sectors that need reliable and efficient gearing solutions. Additionally, gears are critical in industrial applications, automotive transmission systems, and renewable energy technologies like wind turbines and solar tracking systems. These trends are leading to a shift toward advanced gear designs and manufacturing processes to meet the diverse needs of modern technologies.

Do you have gears requiring higher precision quality measurements?

Mitutoyo's GEARPAK software for gear measurement is designed to address these challenges, offering advanced solutions to meet your specific requirements.

Challenges:

• Improving the efficiency of gear measurements.

• Performing all gear inspections on one machine.

• The operation is difficult and requires highly skilled labor.

Combining Gear Inspections and Dimensional Measurements on One Machine

There are various measurement requirements for gears.

・Tooth profile, tooth lead, and tooth pitch                           : Gear testing machine
・Tooth thickness and overall diameter measurement         : Dedicated micrometer
・Other general dimensions                                                  : Various measuring tools
・Roundness, cylindricity, runout                                          : Roundness measuring machine
・Position and other geometric tolerances                       　 : Coordinate Measuring Machine

Frequent equipment changes and setup adjustments, even for quick measurements, can be time-consuming and frustrating—especially when it takes your attention away from other tasks. Are these challenges something you face in your workflow?

Mitutoyo's GEARPAK software streamlines the process by enabling all measurement items to be integrated into one Coordinate Measuring Machine. This integration significantly reduces setup changes, minimizing downtime and greatly shortening the lead time for inspection processes.
