Veit Tool
Manufacturing Test Equipment
Gear test equipment and quality-control fixtures, built to your part in Davison, Michigan.
Send us the print. We build the equipment that proves it. Test equipment either catches the bad part or it doesn’t—and most shops learn which kind they bought the day a rejection ships back from the customer. Catalog gages get close. Enterprise metrology gets it exact, but at $400,000 and with a nine-month delivery.
When you run gears by the thousand and a first-article date is already on the calendar, neither one is the answer. Veit Tool builds gear test equipment that measures your actual part, to your actual geometry, in weeks.

What We Build
Manufacturing test equipment is any fixture, gage, or machine that confirms a part meets spec
before it leaves the building. For gear and precision parts manufacturers, that usually means:
before it leaves the building. For gear and precision parts manufacturers, that usually means:
Gear Roll Test Fixtures
Gear roll test fixtures for double flank composite testing, available in manual, motorized, and pneumatic configurations to match your production volume.
Quality Control Fixtures
Manufacturing quality control fixtures that separate conforming parts from scrap directly on the production line for fast, reliable inspection.
Custom Test Fixtures
Custom test fixtures that check dimensions standard catalog instruments cannot reach, engineered specifically for your parts and tolerance requirements.
Ball and Pin Gages
Ball and pin (DOB/DOP) gages designed for accurate measurement over balls or pins based on your gear geometry and specifications.
Gear Burnishing Systems
Gear burnishing systems that improve surface finish after heat treatment, with production capabilities of up to 600 parts per hour.
Reverse-Engineered Tooling
Reverse-engineered tooling for parts whose original drawings are long gone, restoring function without redesigning the entire process.
Which Gear Roll Tester Fits Your Line?
Our gear roll test fixtures all perform double flank composite inspection. Tell us about your part, production volume, and inspection requirements, and we’ll recommend the configuration that earns its place on your floor—without selling you a motor you don’t need.
- Manual – Ideal for first-article checks and low-volume runs. An operator rolls the master against the part and reads the total composite error by hand.
- Motorized – Designed for production-paced inspection. It keeps up when you need to check every part instead of inspecting only periodic samples.
- Pneumatic – Built for high-throughput production lines. Fast loading and unloading help ensure the inspection process never becomes a manufacturing bottleneck.

What is double flank composite testing?
Double flank composite testing rolls a master gear in tight mesh against the part gear and measures total composite error and tooth-to-tooth error in one pass. It's a fast, repeatable way to catch a gear problem on the floor instead of at the customer. Our gear roll test fixtures are built for exactly this check.

Manual, motorized, or pneumatic: which gear roll tester do I need?
Manual fixtures fit first-article and low-volume checks. Motorized fixtures hold production pace. Pneumatic fixtures load fast for high-throughput lines. Tell us your volume and we'll recommend the configuration that fits, not the most expensive one.
