GLI has added PC-DMIS Gear inspection software.

PC-DMIS Gear

PC-DMIS Gear automates the measurement of both spur and helical gears and provides a flexible set of built-in report formats including Pitch/Runout, Profile/Helix, Tip Circle and Root Circle.

PC-DMIS Gear conforms to multiple international standards including AGMA 2000-A88, DIN 3962, JIS B 1702 and ISO 1328.

PC-DMIS Gear uses our high precision Ziess DB900 Coordinate Measuring Machine for inspection.
