The aim of this work package is to provide candidate solutions for measuring and characterising 2D and 3D size, form, waviness and surface roughness parameters in large drivetrain components, establishing functional characterisation parameters in accordance with the GPS requirements defined in ISO 14253 and ISO/TS 17450.
The aim of this task is to evaluate the benefits from using microprobes on a GMI to extend machine versatility and detect key performance characteristics on workpieces up to 3 m diameter.
The aim of this task is to evaluate candidate measurement strategies and performance based characterisation parameters for 2D and 3D flank and root form measurements on large gear elements and small test sample gears.
The aim of this task is to investigate and specify measurement procedures for the determination and characterisation of roughness and waviness parameters for large gears with diameters greater than 0.5 m. Existing measurement and evaluation procedures from surface metrology will be analysed and a suitable choice will be selected. Test measurements of small gears test samples with diameters less than 0.5 m, which were manufactured by different methods, will be used as a base for best practice proposals for future measurement and evaluation strategies. The specifications will be compiled into a good practice guide.

Leading NMI: CMI
The aim of this work package is to develop a virtual measuring process which includes all the significant uncertainty contributions from the workpiece, environment, measuring strategy and measuring instrument.
The aim of this task is to develop traceability routes that include thermal and elastic deformation of measuring machines and workpieces. This involves the development of virtual measurement process (VMP) models for use in Task 4.2.
The aim of this task is to simulate environmental influences and to analyse the geometrical deformation on the VMP methods developed in Task 4.1.
The aim of this task is to validate the new VMP model using the measurement examples from WP3 as case studies.
Leading NMI: PTB
The aim of this work package is to test the developed measurement standards in industry and critically analyse the performance compared to traditional standards, such as gauge blocks, step gauges, etc. In this work package it will also be possible for other partners to test the standard depending on available measurement facilities.
The aim of this task is to validate the developed measurement strategies for shafts, bearings and gears from drivetrain components in an industrial environment.
The aim of this task is to determine the achievable measurement uncertainties for shafts, bearings and gears from drivetrains in an industrial environment.
Leading NMI: NPL
The aim of this work package is to ensure a wide dissemination of procedures and standards developed within the five technical work packages, to the manufacturing industries for modern renewable energy systems, manufacturers of measuring systems, to standardisation committees and beyond.
A stakeholder committee will be formed at the start of the project from industrial collaborators that consult the JRP-Coordinator with respect to the project management and will receive results of the project first hand.
To ensure accelerated impacts of the results generated from the JRP, leading European manufacturers will be frequently interviewed and involved in the developments with the aim to deliver sustainable impact to a strong and growing European industry. The JRP website will provide the opportunity for interested companies, NMIs, DIs, and academics to join the stakeholder committee at any time during the JRP.
This WP has three major objectives:
The project will be managed and coordinated by PTB.
