EN This article presents the results of comparative tests of gear wheels based on the contactless and contact measurement methods. Measurements of gear wheels in accuracy classes containing deviations within the range of measurement capabilities of the GOM ATOS II optical scanner are proposed. Elementary deviations of teeth related to the involute profile were analyzed. In undertaking a non-contact gear measurement using the GOM ATOS II scanner, a new method was developed to extract parameters from the point cloud, which were then used to determine the total deviation of the profile. The results of the measurements obtained using the non-contact method were compared with the results obtained with the contact method using the Wenzel WGT 600 four-axis machine specialized for measuring gear wheels. Measurement uncertainty was also compared. The result of the conducted tests is the comparability of results for gear wheels made in accuracy class 10 according to DIN 3961/62. The proposed non-contact method shows the possibility of using it to measure gear wheels commonly used in agricultural and construction machines. The information obtained from comparing the measurement model and the nominal wheel model provides additional information about surface defects of the part which result from the production and operation process.
