GEAR MEASURING TECHNOLOGY - TECHNICAL AWARENESS DAY

In collaboration with Hexagon MI the British Gear Association (BGA) are holding a Technical Awareness Day on Gear Measuring Technology at the Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence technical centre and showroom in Telford on Thursday July 7th 

To register offline please contact the BGA Office admin@bga.org.uk   

A variety of measurement methods will be demonstrated on a range Hexagon products, as well as demonstrations of Hexagon’s Romax Design & Simulation software.   Methods covered will include conventional tactile measurement, advanced non-contact and laser scanning, Ultra-High Accuracy sensors and best output methodologies for differing use cases.    

The main message during the event will be how new technologies and methods may complement the established approach. 

The proceedings will include guest speakers and there will be plenty of opportunity to network with the leading Gear companies, manufacturers, distributors and academics. This will be your chance to share opportunities, discuss challenges and promote your interests to likeminded people.   Lunch will be provided.

Agenda

9:30 - 10:00 - Arrival (Coffee & Pastry)

10:00 - 10:30 - Welcome Hexagon MI

BGA – an update on events, membership benefits and training available.

Design Unit, Newcastle University – ‘National Gear Metrology Lab- an update on our new measurement and calibration facilities and capabilities’

10:30 - 11:15 – ‘Gear Inspection - Where we are, Where we're going'.

This presentation will summarise traditional tactile inspection methods, reviewing content discussed at the last TAD event. Three years on we will now explore new capabilities enabling GDE export to Romax. Giving the opportunity to simulate Tooth Contact and gear performance from real world measured data. Wrapping up with an introduction to new multi-sensor applications of the PMM-C for tactile and laser scanning gear inspection.
