GearVU® is a comparative gear measurement software package uniquely designed for non-contact spline ring gage systems like Slone Gear’s PIVOT™ and probe-based systems such as Renishaw’s EQUATOR™.
GageVU™ is a software package that complements GearVU®, tailored for probe-based, CMM style hardware platforms such as the Renishaw EQUATOR™, measuring geometric features related to gears, including roll tester metrics like PD runout and concentricity (i.e. parallelism, perpendicularity, distances, diameters, roundness, parallelism of two axes, flatness, DOB, etc.)
RollVU™, designed for Slone Gear’s motorized and automatic roll testers, excels in measuring total composite, tooth-to-tooth, DFRT runout, and functional tooth thickness for spline and master gears.
RollVU™ is an intuitive, user friendly, and comprehensive software package with customizable tolerancing. Like the rest of our software suite, RollVU™ includes data storage & retrieval capabilities.
For your convenience, RollVU™ has built-in standards for AGMA, DIN, and ISO tolerancing
SpanVU™ is optimized for Slone Gear’s Span Mics, facilitating easy tooth thickness measurements on large gears, such as external master gears, while minimizing measurement uncertainty.
FAST, NON-CONTACT GEAR MEASUREMENT
This in-process measurement system, ideal for spline plug and ring gauge analysis, delivers rapid analytical results at the point of manufacturing. With a potential 6-12 month payback, the PIVOT™ should be considered for any high-volume, high-accuracy gear production application
OILY GEARS
Slone Gear is the first and only to successfully measure profile form error with an oil film present using non-contact technology. This eliminates the need for washing gears and pinions prior to measurement.
CONFIGURATIONS
We can offer a fully automated, in-line configuration for installation on-board the grinding machine or adjacent to the grinding machine (learn more). Additionally, we offer an off-line, mobile cart configuration (learn more) as shows in the image to the left.

SLONE GEAR ROLL TESTER – DOUBLE FLANK
Our SGRT™ Double Flank, a versatile roll tester, is proven for jobs 1-10 inches in diameter, perfect for inspecting internal and external master gears. Our highly flexible systems can accommodate a wide variety of part types and be setup to inspect both external and internal gears. We offer MANUAL and MOTORIZED configurations as shown.
OVERVIEW
Roll Testers are designed to inspect or sort a high volume of parts on the shop floor quickly, providing quite a bit of information.
The gear to be checked is engaged with a master gear in tight mesh and rolls with no backlash. Various types of tooth deviations result in changes to the center distance of the mesh. By measuring the change in center distance, gear quality can be evaluated.
We supply master gears and tooling for a complete turnkey solution for any size company.
MEASUREMENTS/TOLERANCES
The SGRT™ measures center distance, total composite, tooth-to-tooth, radial runout, normal C.T.T., DOP (calculated) and span (calculated). If setting discs are purchased, it will also measure tooth size/thickness.
System repeatability is typically within 5 microns.
