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.

  • Hi all. In order not to start a new forum , I will continue in this one . Our production measures the gearing of the rack and pinion of the steering gear. We have to buy special software for PS DMIS. This is either PC-DMIS GEAR or QUINDOS. Our gear has a very steep involute. Parameter 26 on the drawing. The seller says that GEAR cannot cope with such teeth and will not cane scaning . And it also cannot change the angle of the probe on the same tooth. But QUINDOS is easy to deal with. The cost differs by a factor of two and a half between these two software. Does anyone have any experience with these measurements. Maybe there is an easier way to measure such teeth?
