Super-Large Gear Measurement Using Laser Tracker and CMM

Article Preview

Abstract:

As general methods can no longer be used to measure super-large gears, their manufacturing accuracy, performance and quality cant be guaranteed. In this paper, after introducing the characteristics, measuring requirement and the state of arts of inspection of super-large gears, a laser tracker and CMM based measuring technology, proposed by Shi, was presented, and the key techniques were discussed. By taking full advantage of the characteristics of a laser tracker and a coordinate measuring apparatus, the super-large gears positioning problem, which was to determine the relationship between the instrument and workpeice, was solved. Thus, the gears profile, helix, and topology error etc. could be measured. Experiments have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of the method. The results showed that the proposed method could be used to measure super-large gears with the diameters up to 10m.
