Abstract

The three diamensional (3D) scanning measurement method of tooth flank form of generated face mill gear pair is proposed, which is based on the conjugate mating tooth flank form. In this method, deviation sensor is placed at the position which has certain offset from the gear axis and synchronized to the gear rotation. This method realizes the 3D tooth flank form measurement and multi points scanning measurement by using 2 axes sensors. Based upon this proposal of the measurement method, tooth flank form measuring machine was developed and the experimental measurements were carried out. It is confirmed that this method is capable of high speed and high resolution measurement of fine waviness and it has high repeatability. It is confirmed that the proposed method, is capable of 3D scanning tooth form measurement of generated face mill hypoid gear pairs with high repeatability at high speed.
