Available from Kapp Technologies, the R&P Metrology RPG 3500DS gear inspection system is capable of measuring parts ranging to 3,500 mm OD or, optionally, 4,000 mm OD. The system is suitable for checking spur and helical gears, pinion shafts and double helical gears, bevel gears, hypoid gears, worms, worm wheels, and cutting tools.
The four-axis (+1) generative gear inspection system features an active air suspension system and does not require a special foundation. Constructed with dark granite for temperature stability, the system offers enhanced inspection accuracy and repeatability. It is equipped with air bearings, linear motors, a direct-drive hydrostatic rotary table, a touchscreen and RP Utilities software. Optional CMM software can be installed to enable virtually all types of 3D CMM measurements, the company says.
