Virtual Single Flank Testing – Applications for Industry 4.0

Procedia CIRP, vol. 104, pp. 476–481

Abstract

Single flank testing is used to measure the quality of a gearset. The paring of two specific flank geometries leads to a unique transmission error curve. The challenge in quality assurance is to find a way to differentiate flank geometries by evaluating the transmission error curves. Therefore, characteristic values are needed to efficiently analyze the huge amount of data. In this paper, characteristic values in time and frequency domain are used to compare the results of an arbitrary amount of transmission error curves. With the data, an additional method is developed to estimate the geometry from the given transmission error.
