Gearing up

At M2M, we’re always figuring out new ways to measure parts and products better and faster.

Our latest purchase: PC-DMIS Gear 2.4. Gears present special challenges for measurement, with their varying shapes and multitude of angles. But this premier software helps us do it all in-house!

With PC-DMIS Gear, we can:
  • Create gear alignments;
  • Define the desired gear parameters (including pitch/runout, profile, helix/lead, tip/root, pitch (bevel gears), and topography (bevel gears));
  • Measure the gears, via both analog and touch trigger probes (also includes the ability to measure a master flank, providing an average for all the measured flanks on a bevel gear);
  • Analyze the gear data.

What does all this mean? As always, greater efficiency and accuracy—two things we strive for here at Made to Measure!

Ready for some new gear measurements? Give us a call!
