Abstract

To address the measurement issues posed by fine pitch gears, due to the characteristics such as low stiffness and narrow tooth space, this paper proposes a rapid and high-precision measurement method which does not require precise installation by combining optical and visual principles. A calibrated artifact, featuring cylindrical and flat surfaces, was designed to accurately determine the relative positions of the line laser sensor, camera, and rotary table. An experimental setup was constructed, and measurement experiments were conducted on two types of cylindrical gears. To validate the precision of the measurement system, gear profile deviation, helix deviation and pitch deviation were evaluated according to ISO 1328-1:2013. The results were compared with the reference evaluations from Klingelnberg Gear Measuring Center P26, with difference less than 2.4µm. Eight repeatability experiments were conducted, demonstrating that the method proposed satisfies the measurement requirements for fine pitch gears with an accuracy of class 6.
