New Research Themes Commissioned by JRDC: Include a Device to Measure Unobtrusively a Toothed Wheel's Cog Surface

摘要

The Research Development Corporation of Japan (JRDC) has commissioned four new technologies to private companies for commercial development. These technologies are as follows. A device to measure by light the configuration of a toothed wheel's cog surface, the result of research by Professor Aizo Kubo and others of Kyoto University's Engineering Department. This device is easier to use than those which must make contact with the wheel by use of a needle. It can conduct automatic measurements and can be used to measure precisely-machined materials, etc. The Osaka Seimitsu Kikai Co., Ltd. (Principal Office in Higashi Osaka City) has been commissioned to do the work.
