Yes. Every run is stored as a .act file in a sub-folder inside the directory your .gear is stored. Open the .act file that you want, change your tolerances and click on the Evaluate button.

et is the gap width; Eet is the gap width variance. st is the tooth thickness; Est is the tooth thickness variance. Wk is the span width; in this example it shows a k value of 2, so a span measurement over (2) teeth. MrK is the Measurement Over One Ball MdK is the Measurement Over Two Balls MdR is the Measurement Over Two Pins Da is the Major Diameter FrD is the Runout of the Major Diameter Df is the Minor Diameter FrD is the RUnout of the Minor Diameter

Quick questions on the following acronyms on the attached file called “Gear Report Clarification.png”. I did look in the help file as well in the presentation you sent us but still can’t find the answer. Est St Wk Eet et FrD

Is it possible to re-evaluate results in Gear Pro? I ran 2 samples of a part using Involute but noticed I had the wrong tolerance for the dimeter over pins. I updated the tolerance, but would like to regenerate a report.

Thanks, but i have one curve in loop 16x. I can not extract data only from one iteration for one circle ( either point range or box ). I was able to do 16 separate circles and manually fill points from each iteration. I was hoping, that i'll create a curve a circle - both will be 16 in total and circle will have only own part of recalled points. This way i am getting wrong radius or rotated recalled points ( slots are in Z axis rotation, but recalled point while opened that circle is in X axis ).

@Charlie Turch This makes the most sense to me. Thank you Charlie.

For Planes; .length pulls the Length 1, and .width pulls the Length 2. As Charlie stated, len1 will pull Length 1, and len2 will pull Length 2.

.length can be used for many things. Most commonly used with pulling the length of things like slots and rectangles.

The PCM reference says .length is for curve length. I haven't played around with it but it does return the same value as the formal curve length characteristic.

Thanks Richard. Have a .5mm probe but ended up cutting the part down to get the probe to reach. And slowed the CMM down. Lines are a lot straighter than before, notice there is quite a bit of pitting or chipping on the splines as well. I'm sure thats not helping much. Thanks again. Lou

Also looks like .width could be valid too.

From Eric Moberg's Mimir program. I'm not sure the difference between len and length is.

I believe it would be .len1 & .len2

Hi Martin, You can recall the feature points of a curve into a circle or any other feature. Insert a circle, go to recall feature points, right click on the curve and select open. From there you can use the tools in the dialogue box to select the points you want. You can select by number, range, and there are also selection tools that become available like a box to window around the points you want to select. The box tool shows up on the toolbar at the top when the dialogue opens.

Hello! The solution mentioned here is the most common resolution for that error, but I also wanted to put this link here, as well, in case anyone ever comes across this error and the above does not resolve it. There are a few more things to try listed here: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1596796

I was introduced to these by my mentor back in 2000. It's a feel type, i have used the same way he showed me since. I haven't had any problems with any stripping out on me or too loose. My calibrations have all been good too after changing. I guess i have been lucky with this.

@AGH1977 How do you set the torque on these babies?

1mm styli is too large for an internal spline of this size. You should either use a 0.3mm or 0.5mm given the available tooth length is only 0.05" (1.3mm). In addition, speed is also a factor - short splines require you to go much slower (especially on the involute/profile).

Howdy, I'm trying to get a cad view image of a profile and it doesn't appear on my report. just a white screen. no error msgs or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with the profile traces on splines I am inspecting. They look horrible but the lead traces seem to look fine. Believe I ran into this before but can't remember how I remedied this. Included the gearing data and I am also using a 1mm probe. I am evaluating all 11 teeth not just 4. Not sure if that is something that needs to change or not. I am sure I left some details out that could help. Thanks for any assistance. Lou

Hallo, der Fehler weist darauf hin, dass der sogenannte 'Actual Master' "leer" ist, d.h. dass die Polygonisierung nicht vorhanden ist oder dass sie keine Punkte enthält oder dass ihr Netz nicht als 'Actual Master' deklariert ist. Die Deklarierung geschieht normalerweise automatisch während des Programmlaufes sofern sie die korrekte Lizenz haben. Sollte ihre Polygonisierung vorhanden sein und Punkte enthalten, ist die Analyse ihres Projektes durch den professionellen Support nötig. Mögliche Fehlerursachen könnten sein: Ein anderes Netz ist noch 'Actual Master' oder ihnen fehlt die korrekte Lizenz (Professional), um diese Operation korrekt auszuführen. Diese Ursachen können nur durch den professionellen Support beantwortet werden. MfG, Bernd Alpers

Thanks, i will give this a try.

Try .width

Is this what you are asking about? If so i get these at Q-mark.
