Tooth by tooth in the focus of the sensor
The electronic probe complements ZOLLER's sensor technology for measuring undercut surfaces to determine the form and positional deviations of the cutting edges, the pitch of the flutes, and the direction of the flutes. Thanks to its integrated CNC Y-axis, the »hobCheck«’s optical carrier offers unique possibilities for cost-effective, comprehensive measurement of straight-fluted and spiral-fluted gear cutting tools.
Test programs
Measurement Program 313
for measuring indexable-insert-tipped cylindrical hob cutters with comprehensive evaluation based on DIN 3968. Among other things, the following are determined: runout deviation at the tooth tip, individual and total pitch, and pitch variation of the flutes, flute direction, tooth thickness, and hob pitch height.
Measurement Program 314
for measuring tooth-forming cutters with comprehensive evaluation based on DIN 3968. Among other things, the following are determined: runout deviation at the tooth tip, individual and total pitch, and pitch variation of the flutes, flute direction, tooth thickness, and engagement angles 1 and 2.
Measurement Program 315
for measuring the protrusion on cylindrical hob cutters. The protrusion amount, height, and angle are determined, as well as the edge break height on both the left and right tooth flanks.
Measurement Program 720
for measuring the axial relief on the tooth flanks of gear hobs. The exact contour of the relief is recorded and analyzed using a scanning probe.
Measurement Program 412
for the tactile measurement of cutting wheels using a measuring probe and evaluation in accordance with DIN 1829. Both straight and helical cutting wheels can be measured. The following parameters are determined: runout, rake angle at the tooth root, and the pitch angle of the cutting surface (for helical cutting wheels).
Measurement Program 512
for measuring rolling-cut gears in transmitted and reflected light with evaluation according to DIN 1829. The following are determined: runout deviation on the pitch circle and head circle, individual pitch deviation left/right, pitch jump left/right, total pitch deviation left/right, tooth thickness variation, rake angle at the tooth head, and the pitch angle of the cutting surface.
Measurement Program 482
for automatic image capture of the teeth on the circumference and in the chip space of cylindrical hob cutters. Display of cutting edge images, including a measurement function for quick and easy determination of the greatest wear. This enables optimization of the regrinding process and ensures that neither too much nor too little material is removed during regrinding.
