Gear Parameter Measurement Using Profile Projector

Aim:
To draw the profile of a gear and to determine the fundamental dimensions of the gear using profile projector.

Description:
Fundamentally the projection is a measuring instruments which projects and enlarging the shadow of the pattern being measurement on a screen where it is compared with master drawing. There are two types of projector. Horizontal and Vertical type are more suitable for repair inspection of small wire and occupies less space. The optical axis from projecting lens rises vertically and is reflected from a mirror to a screen. The work is near the screen, so that size of the screen is also less.

Procedure:
1. The given gear was placed on the table of the profile projector. 2. The gear was then focused by raising or lowering the table. 3. After a rear image was obtained on the screen, a tracing sheet was placed on the screen and the profile of the gear was drawn directly. 4. The reference line on the screen was used to determine the height and width of the gear teeth. 5. By geometric construction the centre was found out. 6. Then the outer diameter 2 was also found. 7. The whole depth (ht) was calculated from the construction from which the pitch was found out using the given formulae. 8. Finally the Addendum, Dedendum, No. of teeth, Module were calculated using the given formulae.

Result:
Thus the fundamental dimension of the gear was found as above.
