The GEARTEC GTS100 DF is a precision double-flank gear inspection system designed for manufacturers requiring fast, repeatable evaluation of gear quality in both laboratory and production environments. Engineered around a rigid granite base and equipped with high-resolution encoder technology, the machine provides accurate measurement of composite gear errors, radial runout, backlash, and center distance variation.
The system incorporates precision horizontal and vertical slide assemblies, a motor-driven master gear axis, adjustable measuring force, and integrated electronic controls for reliable and repeatable testing. High-accuracy linear encoders enable precise axis distance positioning and repeatable backlash analysis across the machine's measuring range.
The GTS100 DF is equally suited for quality laboratories, inspection departments, and production-floor applications where rapid verification of gear quality is required. Integrated measurement software provides automated evaluation, data storage, and report generation capabilities, while the platform is designed to support modern Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments.

Description of the Basic Machine (See Line Drawing elsewhere in Quote with Numbers):
The GTS100 DF (formerly GMS32) double-flank inspection machine is designed and produced with regard to the newest knowledge and experience in the branch of measuring practice. It can be used both in lab environment and shop-floor or set direct into production process (cabinet is suggested on shop-floor use).
The base of the machine is made of:
1) A solid granite base
2) Horizontal slide, constructed and sliding smoothly on the base 1
3) Hand wheel for smooth horizontal motion of the horizontal sledge 2
4) Arresting lever to fix the position of the horizontal sledge 2.
On the Horizontal sledge there is a measuring carriage composed of:
5) Main measuring carriage with workpiece’s support or any other mean of workpiece’s fixtures
6) Lock screw for arbor (workpiece support)
7) Small hand wheel for setup of mechanical preloading
8) Visual mechanical preloading force indicator
9) Hand knob for repetitive small horizontal motion of the measuring carriage (eccentric)
10) Linear encoder, placed on the rear part of the machine, for precise horizontal measurements.
On the main body (1) a vertical sled is precisely mounted up to move in Z the Master and match the height of the measured parts. Inside the sled a precise motor is installed to move the master gear for double-flank measures.
11) Vertical slide (z) with driving axis
12) Hand wheel on the left side of the machine to move the vertical sled 11.
13) Arresting lever to mechanically fix the vertical sled 11 in position
14) Lock screw for arbor of the driving axis
15) Linear Encoder for horizontal precise positioning of the axis distance
The linear encoder, by Renishaw or Heidenhain, supplements standardly delivered measuring probe for measuring slide.
The liner encoder allows you to know and set exact axis distance in the whole travel of the X (horizontal) slide.
The linear encoder includes one reference mark at the end; it’s fixed to the machine from rear side and it is fully covered to protect it from any damage.
It is fundamental for those who need to evaluate axis distance fluctuation repeatedly with different gears as well as measure value of backlash.
The machine is equipped with Control unit that is used to control some functions of the machine as well as save measuring reports.
Characteristics of the Programming / Software:
● Measuring process in program is controlled from data input to evaluation of results.
● No advanced PC knowledge required to operate the instrument.
● All measuring parameters are saved to reduce setting up the time.
● Measured values can be evaluated in DIN, ISO, AGMA BS standards or by company specified values
● Exact display of the double flank diagram showing Fi", fi" and the average value of Fr"
● Location of detected tooth nicks
● Measuring of backlash and thickness over teeth
● Deviations are measured in microns or millimetres
● Saving of diagrams
● Free selection of counting/numbering and saving of the measured results
● Input of parameters in [mm] and in module or DP, CP
● Multilingual application – standard is English or German (other languages upon request)
● Company logo on printout records
● Graphic display of good and rejected parts
● Data export via TXT or CSV format
● Data backup and re-entry
● FFT-Analysis (Frequency analysis)
● Export of data acc. to Industry 4.0 / UPC-UA protocol - optional
