22SP1. Noise Analysis for e-Drive Gears and In-Process Gear Inspection

ABSTRACT

A new inspection concept developed by Gleason features a combination of double flank roll testing and laser scanning. With this new approach gear inspection now can be performed as fast as a typical hard finishing operation takes. As a result, 100% in-process inspection has become a reality, eliminating the need for statistical process evaluation. In addition, the measured data can be further evaluated concerning waviness in profile and/or lead allowing the evaluation of the noise behaviour. Hence, this new system allows an up to 100% in-process noise analysis prediction of the finished gear. This new inspection concept has been integrated with a modern grinding machine and a fast and flexible automation system to create the Hard Finishing Cell including a Closed Loop correction system.
