The gear package in Arco allows the measurement of Spur and Helical gears with a CMM.
The measurement can be performed with:

  • Point to Point (trigger) probe
  • Continuous Scanning Probe
  • PH20



By input the nominal data of a gear, Arco produce a program specifics for that gear automatically.
The preview allows the user to select all the metrologycal parameter for gear inspection such us:

  • Limits and number of points for of the Involute
  • Limits and number of points for if the Generatrix
  • Safety radius for auto probe change
  • Identification of the teeth to be measured
  • Height of the gear
  • Type of alignment within
    • Current Reference System
    • Plane and Cylinder
    • Cylinder
    • Synchronization of the tooth only




Based on the parameter ARCO creates a full program with all the points to be takes and the correct alignment procedure.
At the end of the execution is generated a PDF report that goes with the international standards, the parameters evaluated are:

  • Profile Error (Fa,ffA,fHa)
  • Flank Error (Fb,ffb,fHb)
  • Quality Class
  • Left and Right Pitch Error (fp,Fp)
  • Thickness and Run-out (Ues,Aes,Les,Fr)
