GEAR INSPECTION AND REVERSEENGINEERING SOFTWARE
About Inspect Gear
Inspect Gear is a PolyWorks plugin for portable CMM arms that enables fast, on-siteinspection and reverse engineering of spur, helical, spline, and internal and external gears.Inspiring by over-pin measurement method and helix angle evaluation, it delivers practical gear inspection directly on the shop floor or in the field. Inspect Gear is ideal for heavy andlarge gears where laboratory inspection is impractical, providing reliable PDF reporting tosupport manufacturing, maintenance, and troubleshooting workflows.
Why Inspect Gear
Tailored configurations and custom program developmentare available to address customer-specific inspectionstandards and application needs.
On-Site Inspection for Large & Heavy Gears
Inspect large and heavy gears directly on the shop floor or in the field. Eliminate the need totransport bulky components to a laboratory, reducing risk, downtime, and logistics costs.
Inspection During Manufacturing & Overhaul
Perform gear inspection during manufacturing and during overhaul or maintenance. Detectissues early, validate machining processes, and assess gear condition without disassembly orexternal inspection.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Gear Inspection Machines
Avoid the high cost of CNC gear inspection machines and external lab services. Use yourexisting PolyWorks setup and portable arm to significantly reduce total inspection cost.
Continuous Development & Expanding Capabilities
Inspect Gear is actively developed to support new gear types and additional internationalinspection standards.
