The easy way to get from drawing to measurement

Narrow tolerances are an essential measure to ensure that gear wheels can transfer forces and motion quietly and with almost no loss. The precision of production and gear metrology must go hand in hand.

The ZEISS GEAR PRO product family for ZEISS CALYPSO enables gear metrology on coordinate measuring machines. The analytical 3D gear model and the graphic-supported input windows make measuring with ZEISS GEAR PRO highly effective.

Gear-specific reporting

Standard-compliant and automatic evaluation of measurement data. Create application-oriented dedicated reports for the different gear types such as cylindrical gears, bevel gears, worm shafts, rotors / screw compressors, gear hobs.
Intuitive and user-friendly

Create measurement plans with just a few simple clicks and without any programming skills. Generate automatic travel path based on the nominal data. Drag & drop functionalities and standardizes interfaces are also supported.
Technology-independent

Whatever hardware you use to measure your gears: ZEISS GEAR PRO supports CMM and VMM systems, tactile and non-contact sensors, with or without rotary table measuring methods and various data set formats.

Highlights

ZEISS GEAR PRO gear metrology software interface with 3D gear visualization.

Graphical user interface and guidance

Thanks to the interaction of the software core and the graphic user interface, ZEISS GEAR PRO generates a CAD model of the gear from the definition of the geometry.

Graphic input windows and systematic guidance with each step simplify the adjustment of the measuring run to the respective measuring task. Define evaluation and measuring ranges with just a few clicks!

Technology-independent

No matter which system you use, the powerful ZEISS GEAR PRO product family will help you to visualize, evaluate and analyze the gear-specific measurement data.

Upgrade your universal CMM to a dedicated GMI (Gear Measuring Instrument) as a 2 in 1 system by the ZEISS GEAR PRO product family software and if required additional accessories (e.g. rotary table and tailstock)

Reliable accurate results

Results you can trust – ZEISS GEAR PRO involute passes the new certification of evaluation algorithms for involute cylindrical gears on coordinate measuring machines which is performed by the PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany).

Since 2024, we can provide a manufacturer-independent certification of gear metrology software. This guarantees reliable accuracy of gear evaluations.
