Contact measurement on the tooth flank of a gearwheel workpiece
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for contact measurement of at least one tooth flank of a gearwheel workpiece using a probe of a measuring apparatus including a probe tip, probe skid or probe ball, comprising the following steps:
- defining a maximum region relating to a tooth flank of a gearwheel workpiece,defining a critical region relating to the tooth flank, wherein the critical region at least partly overlaps the maximum region,executing relative movements of the probe to guide the probe along the tooth flank andobtaining actual measured values of the tooth flank with a first resolution at a plurality of locations within the maximum region, andobtaining actual measured values of the tooth flank with a second resolution at a plurality of locations within the critical region, wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for carrying out contact measurement on at least one tooth flank of a gearwheel workpiece including the steps of:
- predetermining or defining a maximum region relating to the tooth flank,
- predetermining or defining a critical region relating to the tooth flank that overlaps the maximum region at least in part,
- executing relative movements of a probe of a measuring apparatus to guide the probe along the tooth flank to
- obtain actual measured values with a first resolution for a plurality of locations on the tooth flank within the maximum region, and
- obtain actual measured values with a second resolution for a plurality of locations on the tooth flank within the critical region, wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution.

24. A measuring apparatus comprising:
-
at least one probe configured and adapted for contact measurement on at least one tooth flank of a gearwheel workpiece; and a controller configured to implement the following steps; defining a maximum region relating to a tooth flank of a gearwheel workpiece, defining a critical region relating to the tooth flank, wherein the critical region at least partly overlaps the maximum region, executing relative movements of the probe to guide the probe along the tooth flank and obtaining actual measured values of the tooth flank with a first resolution at a plurality of locations within the maximum region, and obtaining actual measured values of the tooth flank with a second resolution at a plurality of locations within the critical region, wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution.
