Abstract: A device (10) for measuring the running behavior of a gear pair having a rolling device (12) which comprises one spindle (15, 16) per gear (13, 14) and has at least one drive (17; 18) for driving one of the gears (13, 14). Furthermore, a structure-borne noise sensor (20), a sequence controller (30), and a speed sensor system (23, 24) are provided. The sequence controller (30) is designed in such way that a combined test of the gear pair may be performed, in which, in a first search run, a specific installation position is ascertained using structure-borne noise testing and subsequently a single-flank working test is performed at the specific installation position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating a grinding machine for sharpening bar blades by grinding at least two flanks and a top surface (K) of the bar blades, involving the following steps: producing a calibrating blade by sharpening a bar blade according to predetermined dimensions; measuring the dimensions of the calibrating blade, and; calibrating the machine with the aid of at least the measurement result. In order to produce a calibrating blade, the bar blade is, in at least two steps, ground on the flanks and on the top surface (K) in a complete calibrating grinding. The inventive method is advantageous in that the calibrating blade is ground under the same conditions as a production blade so that process-related influences, in particular, displacements associated with the grinding forces, can also be taken into consideration.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a blade grinding machine, a measuring system and a control for providing a bar blade suitable for cutting work pieces. The blade grinding machine includes a clamping mechanism for mounting the bar blade and a grinding wheel for grinding the mounted bar blade. The measuring system also includes a clamping mechanism for mounting bar blade and at least one probe for three-dimensional sampling of the bar blade mounted on the measuring system. The control enables a data exchange between the blade grinding machine and the measuring system in order to grind and sample the bar blade in an alternating fashion. The apparatus is a closed system in which data exchange is automated.
