Has anyone ever measured involute sprockets with the Gear software package. THe issue I am having is that the pitch diameter of the involute sprocket is larger than the major diameter. Therefore, the tooth thickness at pitch diameter is a negative number…
Hello There,
We recently changed to a new workstation.
installed LMS
installed PCDMIS 2020R2 and 2021.2
installed Gear
2.7.270.0_x64
updated licences (including the Gear licence)
Pcdmis works perfect.
but if I startup the…
Team,
We are taking hits on a gear tooth using Pressure Angle, Helix angle vectors. When these vectors are applied they change. Please see attached document. We want to use the I,J,K vectors to capture the gear tooth profile.
Thanks for any help.…
Hello! I hope and you can solve my doubts, in the image that I enclose is the evaluation of a real position, it is supposed that to calculate the position the deviations of the axes are taken, in this case X and Y (marked with red) the deviations that…
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…
Hello.
This is not exactly a DMIS Gear query, but hopefully someone reading this will have a copy of BS3550. We make splines to BS3550. I am trying to find the over-pins nominal of a 20/40 29 tooth spline on table 49. However there is a digit missing…
I'm new to Gear (and PC-DMIS, to be honest). Running 2.6 Gear and 2015.1 PC-DMIS. I have both internal and external "go gages" that need to be ran in Gear for calibration. I have no problems aligning the external ones, but can't get a single internal…
Good evening,
We have PCDMIS 2015, 2017 and Gear 2.6. Is it possible to program Gear off-line. PC-DMIS Gear is little used. I myself have never used it. Trying to sink my teeth into it. Thanks!!
Hi all,
I was asked to finally figure out PC-DMIS Gear 2.5 (we bought it well over 2 years ago, and haven't used it yet). I think I'm doing ok working my way through it, but I'm a little hung up on the manual alignment.
I'm good up until it asks…
I have several Questions: We will be inspecting mostly internal splines!
#1. We currently have TP200 Tact-Tile Probing system. Is scanning probes highly recommended or will my TP200 work ok.
#2. How accurate of a CMM should we have? BROWNE & SHARPE…
I am working with the Gear software to check a spline and cannot get it to work. Attached is the specs and I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hello,
I have not been able to track this down in any hexagon literature. I need to see a couple of sample gear reports from PC-DMIS Gear 2.5. I assume these are highly configurable, but if anyone has a couple of examples which demonstrate the software…
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:
Am I correct in thinking…
Hello all,
I a new for this formu as well as PCDMIS. I was working on composite tolerance and could not figure out and hopping I would get some help I have registered. The composite tolerance is called as Øxxxxx A/B/C
Ø xxxx A. as you can see the…
This is the first time attempting to utilize PC Dmis Gear on our machine. When creating the alignment the Alignment wizard does not pop up as stated in Step 7 (after clicking Measure). I did some looking at the screen & noticed on the Status Bar at the…
What am I missing?
A short time ago I added several tips to several probe files during a recent project by:
insert/hardware definition/probe/probe file/ add angles.
Shortly after, I ran my calibration routine, and found that all of the (additional…
Does anybody know how to work out the 'Base tangent lenght' (e.g.often called the 7 Span or 5 Span dimension) of a gear when you only have the BS3550 spec to work with. The gear is a straight involute form
Table 34 / 29 Splines / External / 20/40Pitch…
Client upgrading their gear package to the latest. They would like to run 3.7MR4/3 with it, will it work ?
They really want to stay with the version they have. I assume Hexagon doesn't test much with older versions ?
Anyone else who uses the gear…
