Taking into Account the Production Methodology and Estimating the Influence of Manufacturing Quality
This paper describes the basis for, and results from, a project that investigated the influence of quality on the resulting transmission error and the excitation force in the gear meshing. To achieve this, a sinus-shaped waviness is applied to the theoretical ideal tooth flank. The amplitude, length, and initial value of the waviness can be modified. This modification can be applied in both the profile or flank line direction, individually, or both at the same time. The changes in transmission error, excitation force, and other fundamental influences on the causes of vibration are then evaluated to obtain a result. The changes in transmission error and other values that occur can then be displayed and used to forecast the effect of the quality on the NVH performance. The application of this method to some current gear units is shown and discussed.
Marposs Announces the Digital Platform, MAINDO
Marposs has announced MAINDO, its new digital platform that integrates Marposs monitoring, measuring, testing or other manufacturer device/solutions throughout the entire production process, combining quality and process into a holistic production monitoring view. Marposs modular software systems, comprised of brands such as Blulink, MG, Brankamp, Artis, S&K, enable a direct network connection between a production level system, a process monitoring system or a PLC terminal and the production control and quality management systems with higher-level company systems like ERP, PLM, MES, etc. The MAINDO platform offers improved production quality, reduced costs, traceability, and remote data accessibility.[please visit our sponsor]
