[M1...] Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Hello. I'm trying to make a program to measure this faster as it takes so long time with a gear that has over 100 teeth. I tried to measure 4 teeth - no result, 50 teeth - no result. So, the question is if it's possible at all? Using Gear 2024 and single flank probing.

[Ch...] Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Yes, I do it sometimes, you need 2 adjacent teeth. the software is trying to fit a theoretical ball in a gear space, if you're measuring "tooth" on an external try something like this: Measure 4 teeth : 1,49,50,100 That should work, I might add #51 as well just in case to make sure you get the distance across. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ky...] Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Incidentally, you can tell Gear Pro to measure by gaps rather than teeth, even if you are working on a OD gear. With that setting, I was able to select "arrange over 4" teeth on the pitch measurement and I got it to work, in simulation at least. I would probably watch it carefully the first time, but I think it should work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ch...] Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 was aware of this, just kind of a peeve of mine to not measure gaps (except for internal only because our team likes to see it reported that way) Just be warned, the deviation on a 'gap' chart may not be as you expect, proceed with caution and good luck ! Thank you Kyle ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
