This thesis presents an analytical methodology on the NC
data generationfor maching of spur gear meshed with spur rack on
3-axis machine tools, andautomation measurement of the spur gear
on coordinate measuring machine. Theability function of the
machine tool and the coordinate measuring machine arederived by
the Denavit-Hartenberg notation. The desired cutter and probe
locations are also derived by the Denavit-Hartenberg notation.
The cutting NCdata equations are obtained by solving the link
variables of the machine tool through equations of its ability
function and the desired cutter location matrix. The measuring
NC data equations are obtained by solving the link variables of
the coordinate measuring machine througt equations of its
abilityfunction and the desired probe location matrix. To verify
the developed methodology, this gear is machined on a 3-axis
machine tool, and measured on a coordinate measuring machine
then. The measuring data will be localized through a program
designed to get a better measuring result. This methodology is a
general one and is applicable for various gear manufactures and
measurements. It also combine the activities of gear design,
manufacturing, and measurement.
