Practical Considerations for the Use of Double-Flank Testing for the Manufacturing Control of Gearing - Part II - March/April 2014

The article "Practical Considerations for the Use of Double-Flank Testing for the Manufacturing Control of Gearing - Part II" appeared in the March/April 2014 issue of Gear Technology.

Summary
Part I of this paper, which appeared in the January/February issue of Gear Technology, described the theory behind double-flank composite inspection. It detailed the apparatus used, the various measurements that can be achieved using it, the calculations involved and their interpretation. The concluding Part II presents a discussion of the practical application of double-flank composite inspection -- especially for large-volume operations. It also addresses statistical techniques that can be used in conjunction with double-flank composite inspection, as well as an in-depth analysis of gage R&R for this technique.
