A bevel gear is a gear with a distinctive shape, featuring teeth distributed across a conical surface; it enables power transmission between intersecting shafts and changes the direction of transmission, thereby meeting a wide range of complex mechanical transmission requirements.

Facing problems

The client lacks technical drawings and requires 3D data of the workpiece for reverse modeling and fitment inspection, necessitating high dimensional accuracy.

The bevel gear features numerous tooth slots, making the measurement of gear parameters via traditional methods cumbersome.

Solution

HOLON engineers utilized the Model 37 3D scanner, which offers exceptionally high scanning speeds—capturing millions of data points in under a second—and superior precision. Leveraging proprietary measurement technology, it achieves an accuracy of up to 0.01mm; when used in fine-scan mode, it faithfully reproduces intricate surface details. The scanner offers great flexibility, enabling 360-degree scanning of workpieces; combined with the software's stitching capabilities, it captures comprehensive 3D data, providing a reliable foundation for reverse engineering.
