Research on Tooth Profile Deviations Measurement Method Based on the Optical Image Measuring Instrument

Abstract

To resolve the problems of small module gear measurement with traditional methods, a new method for measuring the tooth profile deviations of small module gear using the optical image measuring instrument is put forward. According to the ISO 1328-1, the mathematical models of total profile deviation, profile form deviation and profile slope deviation are proposed. The involute profile measurement schemes are given. The results show that tooth profile coordinate values of small module gear can be measured automatically and effectively with the optical image measuring instrument, and the provided method has higher precision of getting measuring points and less fitting error of tooth profile.
