Problem
Manufacturers using legacy gear testers must perform manual inspections or rely on slow, error‑prone processes to achieve 100 % gear quality verification, leading to production delays and inconsistent data records.
Solution
MicroGear offers MicroCheck, a retrofit module that upgrades existing gear testing equipment to provide fully automated, high‑speed inspections with micron‑level resolution. The system displays real‑time results and tolerance charts on the operator’s monitor, performs complex calculations down to a millionth of an inch, and generates complete measurement records that can be printed or saved for later analysis. By integrating directly with a range of popular gear testers, MicroCheck enables manufacturers to achieve 100 % inspection coverage without replacing their current hardware, improving throughput and data consistency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are gear manufacturers and machining shops that operate existing gear testing stations and require reliable, automated quality assurance for high‑volume production.
