Abstract

Abstract The interferometry using laser holography is applied to measure the form deviation of tooth flank of involute helical gears. One problem of this method is that the increase of helix angle reduces the region of the flank to which the laser beam can irradiate at a same time. To solve this problem, following method is developed: The objective tooth flank is divided into some regions, and the interferometry measurement is worked out for each region. The measured values for the form deviation of each region of the tooth flank are transformed to the values on the plane of action of this gear. These values for each region of the tooth flank are then concatenated successively until they result the curved surface for the form deviation of the whole tooth flank of the helical gear. The error surface of the tooth flank of helical gear obtained by this procedure is compared with that of conventional measuring method using contacting stylus.
