What instrument is best for testing the size, shape and geometric tolerances of injection molded gears?

Detecting the size, shape and geometric tolerances of injection molded gears is an important quality control step, and is generally implemented with a three-dimensional scanner.

Injection-molded gears are a common plastic product that are widely used in various mechanical transmission systems due to their advantages of being lightweight, wear-resistant, and low-cost. However, due to the characteristics of the injection molding process, there may be certain deviations in the size, shape and geometric tolerances of the injection molded gears. In order to ensure the quality of injection molded gears, effective detection methods need to be used to comprehensively inspect them.

A 3D scanner is a high-precision measuring equipment that can quickly and accurately obtain the three-dimensional coordinates and shape information of an object surface through laser or other non-contact measurement technology. Compared with traditional measurement methods, 3D scanners have the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, and non-contact, and can be widely used in the measurement of various complex shapes and materials.
