Helical Gear

I have a part that i have PC_DMIS conduct an Alignment then go into PC_DMIS GEAR, when i create the program i enter all the data from the drawing including the HELICAL angle the program starts off and touches each side of one tooth to "locate" then it takes various hits along each flank. when it drops down it does not follow the angle of the helical and looses the tooth and errors out. how do i get the program to follow that angle?

  • The only gain I know from going to the helical cut is a reduction in noise. For those that have driven a manual trans vehicle, most will notice a whine or high pitch sound that comes from the trans when going in reverse. Some people who drive 4x4's and put them in 4Low will also here this sound. This sound is the straight cut gears inside of the transmission or differential housing.
