Gear inspection system

A gear inspection system comprising:

• an arbor that includes:
• three securements, where each securement includes a post and a ball coupled to a top of the post;
• a central tapered structure;
• an annular substrate, wherein the securements are coupled to the annular substrate;
• and
• a bias member coupled to the securements to bias the securements toward the central tapered structure such that the balls of the securements maintain contact with the central tapered structure regardless of a location of the annular substrate along the central tapered structure, wherein the arbor does not rotate and provides a three-point contact on a bore of the gear for inspection;
• a fixing mechanism that positions the gear on the arbor;
• a laser that emits a signal at a point of interest of the gear to create a reflected signal;
• a receiver that receives the reflected signal;
• a processor;
• a six-point adjustment system coupled to the laser and the processor;
• and
• a user interface that accepts inputs from a user to adjust an orientation of the laser in at least one of:
• a horizontal direction;
• a vertical direction;
• a depth direction;
• roll;
• pitch;
• or
• yaw;
• wherein the processor transforms the inputs from the user interface into adjustment instructions for the six-point adjustment system, wherein an adjustment in one of the orientations of the six-point adjustment system is independent of an adjustment in the other orientations.
