PC-DMIS Gear 2.5 verse Qunindos Gear 7?

Hello there.

My requirement is to measure and report on SPUR (straight, helical & double helical) and BEVEL (straight, spiral) gears. Could anyone share an opinion on PC-DMIS Gear Verse Qunindos Gear?

Additional questions:

  1. Am I correct in thinking that whilst both software packages cover my measurement requirement, Quindos is more comprehensive (and complex)? Is it overkill for my requirements?


  2. I read here that PCDMIS gear use advanced gear measurement algorithms of QUINDOS - is this true?


  3. Since Quindos is certified by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) of Germany - is the same true for PC-DMIS?


  4. I read here for Quindos that all travel paths, probing points and scanning lines are created automatically - does the same hold true for PC-DMIS Gear?


  5. Why has Hexagon developed two different software packages for gear inspection? (What is the history?)



Thanks in advance.

    Specific versions of PC-DMIS is PTB certified and it seems that as long as the internal routines for feature creation hasn't changed between versions, other version should be "certified" as well (technically speaking). PC-DMIS Gear is an external program that generates the PC-DMIS program to measure the gear but the gear evaluation is done in Gear.
