Closed Loop Solutions
Gleason Closed Loop ensures the direct transmission of measured data from the metrology system to the production machine with manually prompted or auto-corrective feedback. With a range of Closed Loop configurations available, Gleason delivers tailored solutions to match different production environments—from manually actuated correction prompts to fully automated, lights-out manufacturing. This standard feature of Gleason Gear Metrology Systems supports the seamless integration of inspection and manufacturing processes.

Closed Loop with Manual Data Transfer
Closed Loop manufacturing improves quality by feeding measurement results or correction values back to production machinery. While the loop is closed in many manufacturing environments, corrections are still largely executed manually. We support customers at this stage, with the option for a more automated correction process.
Closed Loop with Auto-Corrections
Measurements are executed, measurement data is forwarded or corrections are directly suggested to the manufacturing machine, depending on the application. Closed Loop with Auto-Correction reduces manual input, shortens reaction times, and improves overall process consistency. Operator control may vary between mere supervision tasks or authorization of adjustments when necessary.
Automated Lights-Out Production
Gleason Metrology Systems with Closed Loop and robotic or cobot loading fully automate the inspection process and support the automatic correction of manufacturing deviations in gear production. Installed directly on the production floor, GMSP Gear Metrology Systems not only reduce human error in repetitive tasks, they also increase utilization of inspection equipment up to 90%.
Gleason's GMSP Series Supports Lights-Out Production
The Gleason 300GMSP nano and 475GMSP Gear Metrology Systems are ideally suited for lights-out production applications with direct installation to the shop floor. Integrated compensation systems make these systems resistant to typical thermal and vibratory dynamics as well as contamination on the production floor.
