  • Automatic gear checking structure and method
    Patent number: 4488359
    Abstract: Structure for and a method of automatically gaging gears including structure for and the method of rotating a master gear and a work gear in tight mesh for a single revolution of the work gear sensing parameters of the gears in tight mesh including the angular position of a master gear and work gear in rotation about their axis of generation, center to center distance between the master gear and work gear and the angular deviation of the axis of rotation of the master gear in mesh with the work gear from its position with the gears unmeshed, developing electrical signals representative of the parameters sensed, and checking the shape of the work gear as a function of the electric signals developed.
