Start The Software Application

The Measurement Studio includes a specific application to measure and calculate the run-out of
gears. It can also be used for measuring the axial run-out of kiln tires.
To start it, click "Project / Add Gear Runout"
The computer screen will show the graph window with the value window below.
Both types of measurements (radial and axial) are equipped with two buttons to select the surface
type. In case of measuring the run-out on tooth tips, click on the left button; this activates the
measurement filter, which will hide automatically the not useful measurement points between the
teeth. For evaluation this filter function can also after measuring be activated and deactivated.
See the green bar, which indicates the Sensor Distance (gap between measured surface and
sensor). It should be approximately in the middle of the sensor range, at least never go to one of
the extreme positions unless between teeth, where the distance is out of range.
Attention:
For measuring tooth wheels on the tooth tip, adjust the sampling rate to min. 5 times the gear
mesh frequency. (See also chapter 4.4)
