The traditional methods of Gear DoB (Diameter over Balls) or DUB (Diameter Under Ball) inspection are prone to errors. This results in rejection of gears, even after inspection. The root cause of the problem is high dependency on the Operator skill set and attention to detail.
After assessment of DoB inspection of over 50 gear manufacturers, we observed these common problems :
- Human dependance on decision : The decision of ok/not-ok was operator dependent and was prone to human errors.
- A lot of errors in recording of DoB or DUB readings: Manual recording with pen and paper often lead to transcription errors.
- Skipping of Readings: Operators missed recording the readings consistently due to fatigue, distractions, or other reasons.
- Inaccurate inspection methods: Often, with new Operators, the right method of inspection was not enforced. Such human errors in measurement of DoB lead to inconsistencies.
The common problems in DoB/ DUB inspection meant defective gears would reach either the end customer or the next stage of manufacturing leading to complaints, potential recalls, penalties and inhouse rejections.
The ultimate solution to problems in DoB Inspection – CNCtize DoB
CalibroMeasure’s CNCtize Gear DoB/DuB inspection gadget is a computerized DoB inspection system that is designed to solve all the problems in traditional methods. With a specialized fixture and automated processes, CNCtize DoB ensures:
- Elimination of Operator Errors: Automation removes the variability introduced by human operators.
- Fully Quantified Testing: Every measurement is precisely calculated and recorded.
- 100% Traceability: Detailed records of all tests are maintained, ensuring complete traceability and accountability.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Advanced algorithms and precise instrumentation guarantee accurate measurements every time.
What are the benefits of Computerised Gear DoB Inspection?
Computerized gear DoB inspection with CNCtize DoB offers numerous benefits:
- Zero Errors as the human intervention in recording of readings is completely eliminated, leaving no room for errors
- Up to 3X increased throughput: Almost 80%-90% of the Operator’s time is saved in terms of observing readings, handling of paper and manually recording readings in traditional DoB measurement
- Deskilling: Even unskilled Operators can take consistent and accurate readings especially because CNCtize gives live feedback to the operator if he is making a mistake!
- Cost Savings: Reduced errors and increased efficiency translate to lower operational costs.
- Reduced rejections: Zero errors in gear inspection means lesser surprises and reduced rejections at the customer end.
