With its brand-new 300GMS nano Gear Metrology System, Gleason presents a world- first at Control Show 2022, May 03-06, Stuttgart, Germany. The capability of measuring gears at sub-micron level, executing advanced waviness analysis and evaluating gear noise using the most advanced analytical tools, make the 300GMS nano ideally suited to support automotive e-drive production with minimum noise requirements. 

The 300GMS nano covers the full range of modern gear inspection capabilities, as well as fine pitch gear inspection and CMM measurement. With the 300GMS nano, users are now able to measure surface finish at sub-micron level with a skidless probe, analyze waviness for profile, lead and pitch, and execute noise analysis with sophisticated software tools. The 300GMS nano is equipped with high accuracy SP25 3D scanning probes with a broad range of styli, including its own stylus calibration library, meeting the most common roughness parameters as defined by DIN, ISO, ANSI and others. The 300GMS nano also integrates 3D measurement and analysis capabilities typically offered by a CMM.

In addition to gears and other rotary parts, the 300GMS nano inspects a wide range of gear cutting tools including hobs, gear skiving, shaper and shaving cutters, bevel cutter stick blades, most broaches and rack cutting tools. The system comes with Gleason’s patented Advanced Operator Interface (AOI), which enables users to record video memos, leave voice messages, monitor environmental conditions and read bar and QR code information directly into the machine.

The machine uses the latest GAMA 3.2 applications and control software, fully compatible with Windows, connecting easily to customers' servers. GAMA also includes SPC data acquisition software and Gleason ConnectRemote Support Services.

The GRSL Gear Rolling System with integrated Laser Technology provides both double flank roll testing as well as laser inspection to provide measurement on all teeth in just seconds. GRSL is available in manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic configuration depending on the manufacturer’s requirements and measures external cylindrical gears up to 250 mm in diameter and ranging from .4 to 7.2 module. It provides analytical output on all teeth for profile, lead and index with functional characteristics including nick detection, total composite variation, total runout, tooth to tooth average, DOP, average circular tooth thickness and more. Capabilities also include integrated gear noise analysis tools, making the GRSL ideally suited to meet automotive e-drive requirements.

Gleason’s Closed Loop enables both the GMS Series and GRSL to send inspection results directly to Gleason production machines, including gear skiving, grinding and honing machines, for auto-correction of production variables without the need for operator intervention.

LeCount Expanding Mandrels are specifically developed for metrology applications, guarantee precision and boost measuring efficiency. 

Gleason will also showcase its range of master gears for calibration, inspection and checking applications to provide a complete, worry-free metrology system from one source. 

For those not able to make it to Control in person, Gleason offers the next best alternative: On May 03, 2022, the Gleason team presents the 300GMS nano Gear Metrology System via live stream from Control Show. With two sessions, different time zones are accommodated. Participation is free.

The Gleason Team is looking forward to meeting customers at Control Show in Stuttgart, in Hall 6, at Booth 6203. Register for a free ticket at www.gleason.com/control2022.
