Abstract:
A fixture for gauging a bevel gear product that is received on a mount and rotated relative to a base while a plurality of measuring lasers and a rotational position sensor are operated. Data from the measuring lasers and the rotational position sensor are employed by a controller to generate one or more data sets. The data set(s) include dimensional information on the bevel gear product as a function of a rotational position of the bevel gear product about the mount axis. Various dimensions of the bevel gear product are gauged by the controller based on information in the data set(s).
