Actual Vector

[[WM...]]

I am using GearPro6.2.

Regarding the title, I would like to output the probe center positions of the tooth profile and tooth lead, as well as the actual measurement vectors from the measured results (act files) as text data. Is there an optimal method for this?

Even if the current version cannot output it, is my understanding correct that the actual measurement vectors are embedded in the act files?

I believe this is do-able,  I would try all of the exports to see which one best suits your needs.

thanks chris.

However, what I need are the actual measured vectors of the tooth profile and tooth trace. If the actual measured vectors are not stored in the act file, I would like to ask the ZEISS engineer to explain the logic of tooth profile and tooth trace measurement.

it looks like the may be for tip/root/pitch as mentioned above.

 

 I would try all output as mentioned - it may be in there; if not contact support they are usually pretty helpful.

 

 Thanks,

Please search in the GEAR PRO involute manual for "XSLT" and in specific for "Data_export_stylus_tip_center_points.xslt". There you can find the possible export formats.

Thanks Roman

　However, I understand that XSLT can only output the stylus center points, the ideal vector, and the stylus radius.
　For example, the image below shows the output values for the break edge, but the Z-direction vector is consistently -0.503181. If this ideal vector is used directly in the chart output, I believe there will be a discrepancy between the gear generated by GearPro and the actual shape, leading to measurement errors.
　Therefore, I am curious about how GearPro measures the tooth profile and tooth trace, and what processing it performs to output the chart.

I thought that the surface points of the workpiece were calculated using the stylus center points,stylus radius and the actual vector, but if I am wrong, could you please provide an overview of the logic used to output the chart? (My next guess is that Morphological profile filters is used for contraction processing.)
I apologize for asking so many questions, but I appreciate your help.

I know that Calypso uses the nominal normal vectors, not the actual ones (at least by default. I believe you can change it for some features, but it is not recommended in general). Especially if you are using an XXT probe head, I would not use the actuals since the stylus system itself bends when it takes a point which isn't representative of the geometry of the part itself.

This is how the software calculates the deviations.
It is not possible to export the actual normal vectors.
Just the nominal normal vectors incl. the deviations as follows:
