Abstract:
A system for testing a first gear wheel in connection with a second gear wheel, with a roll-off device, havinga first spindle for the rotatable seating of the first gear wheel, a second spindle for the rotatable seating of the second gear wheel, a drive mechanism coupled to the first spindle for generating a rotary movement of the first gear wheel, a drive mechanism coupled to the second spindle for acting on the second gear wheel with a positive or negative torque, a displacement device coupled to the system for changing the positioning of the first gear wheel relative to the second gear wheel, a measurement pick-up device in communication with the roll-off device for monitoring operational characteristics of the first and second gear wheel, two angle encoders for transmitting information regarding the position of each of the first and second gear wheels, an evaluation unit that processes coordinate information ((S (X, Y, Z)) describing the position of the first gear wheel in relation to the second gear wheel,- and processes signals from the measurement pick-up device and signals from the two angle encoders, the roll-off device being controllable in such a way that various positionings of the first gear wheel in relation to the second gear wheel are passed, wherein the measurement pick-up device and the angle encoders continuously pick up signals in the course of this passage, and wherein the evaluation unit processes the continuously picked-up signals together with the coordinate information ((S(X, Y, Z)).
