Inspecting with light: Inspection Efficiency
The Marposs OptoCloud Gear helps EV manufacturers maintain quality and minimize noise.
A new addition to a line of optical inspection systems is designed to help get electric vehicles in gear.
The system, called OptoCloud Gear, is the latest EV-focused OptoCloud product rolled out by Italy-headquartered Marposs S.p.A. Marposs developed OptoCloud Gear to help manufacturers maintain high gear quality and minimize gear-meshing noise, both of which are top priorities in the EV industry. The system does this by precisely measuring gear features such as the profile and helix angle, as well as gear micro geometry, the company notes.
A major advantage of OptoCloud Gear cited by Marposs is the system’s ability to take non-contact measurements across multiple sections and positions. Key to this is the company’s SL3D triangulation laser, which is capable of acquiring up to 1,000 component profiles per second in order to ensure precise part reconstruction while also minimizing measurement time.

“If you have to do contact measurements of complex shapes like gears, you will require a lot of time to take enough point measurements to reconstruct the shape of the object,” noted Nicola Pasquali, the company’s product manager for optical gauging systems. “With our technology, you have a complete 3D reconstruction of complex shapes in (just) a few seconds.”
