A method and apparatus for evaluating gears includes an imaging system that provides a non-contact method of evaluating gear meshing using technology that is quick, robust, and provides information not available at production rates from human inspection. The method and apparatus includes one or more imaging devices, illumination, and a computer program to rapidly evaluate the quality of gear set meshing, and which anticipates the move to three-dimensional imaging to permit upstream evaluation of gear quality prior to mating. |
