Our state-of-the-art Gear Inspection Laboratory features the Klingenberg and M&M, CNC controlled, four-axis gear inspection centers. These instruments incorporate the most advanced coordinate measurement technology in the world and can automatically supply extremely accurate verification of gear tooth topography.

Our Inspection Laboratory is equipped to measure and chart lead, involute profile, size, pitch variation, run-out and total composite value. We have a large selection of master gears available for inspecting tooth composite errors. Our laboratory provides an isolated environment with temperature and humidity controls to ensure the integrity of all test results.

Inspection Systems
Our Gauge Block capabilities include Master Grade, certified and traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), dedicated for calibration only. Other equipment includes a digital optical comparator plus instrumentation required for surface finish and Rockwell hardness inspection.

Nital Etch and MPI Inspection
Milwaukee Gear's laboratory offers nital etch inspection per ANSI/AGMA 2007-B92. Nital etching is a non-destructive, in-process inspection method that detects surface tempering and/or rehardening in all gear grinding processes. We also can provide Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) to detect cracking.
