QUINDOS BroachMTW-510-BRO-001


Inspection of Broaches on a Leitz high precision Coordinate Measuring Machine / Gear Inspection System.


Broaches as well as broach shells, used in the manufacture of internal gears, can be measured on a Leitz high precision Coordinate Measuring Machine / Gear Inspection System.
The QUINDOS option Broach allows the inspection of Broach shells with ring type spaces as well as with helical chip spaces. The gearing may be straight or helical with left hand or right hand lead.

Tools for hard broaching with negative face angles can also be inspected.


The measurement of a broach with QUINDOS and Leitz CMM provides following evaluations

  • Lead deviation of chip spaces
  • Axial runout of cutting face
  • Pitch of the chip spaces
  • Stepping of profile over length
  • Transverse pitch in finishing area
  • Dimension over balls
  • Face angle in normal plane
  • Back off angles at different diameters
  • Transverse tooth profile
  • Form of tooth tip
Measurement of broaches and broach shells with a Leitz gear inspection system

evaluation of a broach inspection

The measurement of broaches on a Leitz Coordinate Measuring Machine / Gear Inspection System with QUINDOS software is as easy as the measurement of normal gears with a gear inspection system: after entering the broach parameters the travel path of the Measuring Machine as well as all probings and scan lines required for the inspection are generated automatically.

The measurement is done using a 8-star styli cluster with 30º inclination, as shown in the picture above (Order-No.: M00-694-086-000). A rotary table is not required. Inspection of several broaches fixed on pallets is therefore possible, which leads to a tremendous increase of throughput compared to a conventional gear inspection system.

Due to the tight tolerances of broaches, only a Leitz high precision Coordinate Measuring Machine / Gear Inspection System with a very small probing error P and continuous scanning capability (i.e. Leitz PMM-C) should be used for such measurements.
