The present invention discloses a method for checking or testing the profile of the path of contact of involute helical cylindrical gears. It specifically involves the coordinate measurement method of the profile of the path of contact of involute helical cylindrical gears. The crossed helical gear transmits motion through the profile of the path of contact, and checking or testing the profile of the path of contact can reflect the transmission quality and working stability of the gear and the actual motion condition. In the gear hobbing, the grinding, the shaving and other generating machining, the movement of tools and gears is achieved based on the profile of the path of contact, and controlling the profile of the path of contact has unique advantages in controlling the quality of gear processing. The four-axis control method for measuring the profile of the path of contact on the gear tooth surface is achieved through a gear measuring instrument, which can effectively improve its measurement accuracy easily affected by the size of the tested gear. In addition, the three-axis control method for measuring the profile of the path of contact is a simplified method by limiting the radial movements. And the normal generation method and the conventional method for measuring the involute profile can be achieved by limiting the radial and axial movements separately. This method is also suitable for measuring the involute of spur cylindrical gears, where the profile of the path of contact on the gear tooth surface coincides with the involute profile.
