Сталкиваясь с уникальными метрологическими задачами, возникающими при измерении компонентов зубчатых передач, специалисты по качеству и инженеры должны быть уверены в том, что их результаты измерений имеют высокую точность.
Precise sprocket teeth for the best possible conversion of muscle power into motion speed: a perfectly produced gear cassette thanks to reverse engineering really gets two-wheel products rolling! From the different sized sprockets of a gear cassette all the way up to their accurate three-dimensional models is only a short, but even more so, a very precise measuring process: regardless of size or shape of the original, the true-to-detail data capture of any complex object geometries and free-form areas is accomplished in a matter of a few seconds.
The industrial revolution brought with it the requirement to transmit power from a central location to individual machines via shafts and belts. While this problem was initially solved with the introduction of single-tooth keys and keyways, the move away from chain drives and axles to gearboxes and driveshafts called for a more elegant solution – the spline assembly. Whether involute splines or serrated splines, this innovation now comes in a variety of forms that have a key characteristic in common – complexity that demands high accuracy metrology to ensure quality.
Automotive gearbox technology made a significant step forward with the introduction of the “synchromesh gearbox” developed by Earl Thompson in the United States in 1928. The name synchromesh describes the function of synchronising the gears before meshing to enable a quiet, efficient and easy to use gear change.
Hobs with carbide inserts, which are needed for the production of gears, have to be manufactured with high precision to achieve the best results in their application. The testing of these parts can now be completed easily – with the ‘Tangential Hob’ option of QUINDOS metrology software from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. The parametrised software makes it very easy to generate the right programme for every single hob. The conventional manual testing time can be reduced to one tenth and the customer requirement for inspection reports can be fulfilled.
Зубчатая рейка является деталью, преобразующей вращательное движение в линейные перемещения. Типовыми примерами являются рулевые рейки в автомобилях и грузовиках, а также в приводах станков, транспортных систем и т. д. Серийное производство компонентов рулевых механизмов с улучшенными характеристиками, таких как рулевые рейки, требует быстрых и точных измерительных средств для надежного контроля производственного процесса.
