Gear Inspection Compensates for Shopfloor Disturbances

The Gleason 300GMSP analytical gear inspection system is designed to operate in production environments while maintaining reliable measurement results. The system’s base design includes an active leveling system to attenuate a spectrum of normal production environment vibrations, yielding measurement values in parallel with those achieved in controlled calibration laboratories but without the delay of having to move to the lab location, according to the company. The system compensates for thermal fluctuations normally associated with shopfloor environments as well.
