Manufacture of aircraft gearbox elements requires control of gear geometric parameters at different stages of technological process. Acceleration and automation of measurement process can affect the duration of the finished item production. In case of measurement of gear wheels using modern technologies based on numerical machines, measurement process is based on processing of numerical data obtained by measurement using coordinate measuring machines. The goal of this paper is to present the opportunity to automate the measurement process of bevel gears, using coordinated optical scanner ATOS by GOM, equipped with a turntable. Using coordinate measuring technique, you can specify a set of methods and procedures for the designation of the complex dimensions of physical objects and transform them into a computer program space of coordinate measuring devices. The topics included in the article are intended to show the capabilities of the device used to improve the measurement process and shorten its time, and hence, lower its costs. Another thing described in the paper is the impact of measurement performance in automatic mode on the quality of performance - the numerical image of scanned surface, from the standpoint of accuracy and number of collected data points in the shortest time. The article includes an analysis of conditions related to the measurement works, such as the process of preparing the model and measurement equipment and data processing capacity. The result of the work will be presented methodology for automated scanning measurements of bevel Sears.
The paper presents an outcome of load carrying tests of gears in an aircraft gearbox demonstrator made of ABS B601polymer by means of INSPIRE D290 device. These tests checked an influence of an additional number of contours in gear models on durability of cooperating wheel pair during stand tests. The CAD models of the gears for stand tests were made in Autodesk Inventor program and were used as a base for making physical models. Therefore, Inventor files were exported to STL format. The following stage of data preparation was made in Model Wizard. The gears for stand tests were made by means of MEM method on INSPIRE D290 printer. Unlike most devices, this printer makes it possible to control not only the density of the filling in a model, but also to increase the number of contours. ABS polymer was chosen to make the gears. The choice was due to its good properties and because it is commonly used and also because it was possible to make the parts of the gearing at the Rzeszow University of Technology. Subsequently the gear pair was fixed on a test stand. The stand was designed in an open system. It was powered by a three-phase 0.75 kW electric motor. The control was provided by a single-phase inverter. Load on the stand was provided by an electromagnetic powder brake. This paper is a part of implementation of the research task number 4 „Development of a new, simpler and cheaper toothed gear in place of complicated and expensive planetary gears” of the project „Modern material technologies in aerospace industry."
