With the recent expansion of demand for EVs, the development and manufacture of gears for EVs in addition to gasoline-powered vehicles is expected to increase in Thailand. In order to meet the growing demand for these gear tests, Accretech (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is recommending the use of gear measurement functions on a CMM. In this article, we will introduce the lineup of CMMs that we can propose and the features of each.
Gear testing is commonly conducted using dedicated gear testing machines. However, due to their high cost and limited utilization for gear measurement purposes, the adoption of gear testing machines may be perceived as having a high barrier to install by many.
Therefore, we are actively proposing the expansion of the gear testing function as an option for CMMs. In this article, we would like to introduce two models that are selling well in Thailand for gear testing.
■ XYZAX AXCEL RDS
*Without rotary table
This is a scanning measurement model of the XYZAX AXCEL series. It achieves high accuracy, high-speed drive, and extended temperature guarantee range, and supports a variety of probe system selections and a wide range of applications. Although a rotary table cannot be added as an option, it can be used to measure hypoid gears, bevel gears, cylindrical gears, etc.

"GEAR PRO bevel" bevel gear measurement program
"GEAR PRO involute" cylindrical gear measurement program
This scanning-type 3D coordinate measuring machine is compact, yet incorporates Carl Zeiss' proprietary technologies. It is equipped with a scanning measurement function as standard and adopts a body structure that is not easily affected by temperature changes. The optional rotary table enables measurement of gears with complex shapes. It can measure almost all shapes of gears, including screw rotors, worm gears, hypoid gears, bevel gears, and cylindrical gears. For customers who require even higher precision gear measurement, we offer machines such as PRISMO (rotary table mountable) / CONTURA (rotary table mountable).
The following are some of the reasons why we can confidently offer gear testing on our CMMs. If you have a sudden need for gear measurement, we recommend our contract measurement service.
In some cases, customers who used to ship workpieces to Japan for gear measurement have switched to contract measurement in Thailand, resulting in cost reductions and shorter delivery times.

✔ Diverse machine lineup to meet customer needs
We and Carl Zeiss offer several types of CMM that can measure gears.
We will propose the most suitable model according to the customer's requirements such as "accuracy", "measurement items", "need for rotary tables", "budget", etc.
✔ Original software "GEAR PRO" for easy and highly accurate gear measurement
Our own original software that makes it easy and speedy to create programs for CMMs, which often have an image of requiring expertise and time. It is possible to create a measurement program easily by inputting the specifications of the gear to be measured and the desired measurement locations. We offer four types of software tailored to the specific gear you wish to measure.

Gear measurement is also available by contract measurement services
▶️Contract measurement service
The gear measurement function of the CMMs introduced here is not yet well known in Thailand. However, a single CMM that can handle a variety of precision measurements, including gear measurement, can be considered cost-effective from a medium- to long-term perspective.
With the experience and know-how that Tokyo Seimitsu possesses, we will propose the most suitable model and method of utilization for the conditions required by our customers.
