Ogasawara Precision Laboratory Ltd., of Japan, has announced the development of a new ultra-precise gear measuring machine. As a leader in manufacturing highly precise fine-pitch gear tools and metrology products, Ogasawara has raised the level of quality in the industry. The ability to manufacture such high-quality products is the result of more than 60 years of experience in perfecting manufacturing and inspection methodology.
In such industries as industrial robotics, the demand for precision fine-pitch gears with reduced backlash calls for extreme accuracy in gear-tooth profiles. Developing a gear measuring instrument that can certify the static accuracy of gears (tooth profile deviation, lead variation, pitch deviation, run-out) within 0.1~0.3 (microns)m has proven the level of Ogasawara’s technology.
Ogasawara Precision will present a report on the development of this ultra-precise gear measuring instrument at the American Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE) annual meeting to be held October 26-31, 2003, in Portland, Oregon.
