Major Release 2025.10

The following chapters refer to new features of this release, in relation to the previous release. If a feature is already documented in detail in Confluence, the link can also be inserted in the respective chapters.

The following Windows version was tested with this release:
Windows 11 Pro 24H2  (2025-09-09 Build 26100.6584)
(https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/release-health/windows11-release-information)

General

The following features are included in this release:

Content

Details

Optimizations Configuration files

The storage location of the configuration files for the Kegelrad and MFL programs and their derivatives has been revised and is now also located in the familiar folder at C:\Workstations\Configuration\Software. When the MGB update is executed, the files are automatically moved from their previous location to the new location. 

Important performance bug fix in KLMQ

Recently, there have been increasing reports that the systems can no longer be used after a prolonged period of use and that only a Windows restart can remedy the situation. The cause was the KLMQ communication component. Due to an error, many ports were opened on the local host but not closed. This has been fixed.

EasyStart

Send error messages to EasyStart via KLMQ and display toast

Error messages that occur in the MIP while EasyStart is running are hidden by the EasyStart interface. When an application is subsequently started, error conditions occur which cause confusion because the MIP error messages are not noticed. With this release, the MIP error messages are forwarded to EasyStart and are prominently displayed there via the familiar “red bar.”

PM Features

Dynamic groups in Presentation Manager

This setting determines how measurement sheets are grouped during export. A group represents a PDF document during export. The following grouping modes can be selected in Presentation Manager:

  • No groups: Each measurement sheet is in its own group, resulting in one document per measurement sheet, e.g., STI measurement with profile, pitch, and roughness measurement à 3 PDFs
  • One group: Each measurement sheet is in the same group, resulting in one document with all measurement sheets, e.g., STI block wheel measurement with 3 wheels, each with profile, pitch, and roughness measurement à 1 PDF
  • Dynamic groups: Measurement sheets are sorted into groups based on their metadata. Normally, the drawing number is used here, i.e., measurement sheets with the same drawing numbers are written to a common PDF. E.g., STI block wheel measurement with 3 wheels, each with profile, pitch, and roughness measurement, each gear has a unique drawing number à 3 PDFs

Cylindrical gear Features

Page definition in the GINA interface

The side definition can now be rotated to DIN/VDI via the GINA interface.

 

Set starting point at top edge analog Non GINA

A new button is available: “Read CNC top edge.” When you select “Read CNC top edge,” the tooth width is subtracted from the determined coordinate to arrive at the vertical measuring starting point.

Topography deviations in GDE for Zako3D

In the GDE structure, topography deviations can be output in the geometry_3D_deviations field. Topography curves are treated as deviation curves during GDE export. If the export of deviation curves is active in the ESB, topography deviations are also output. This naturally requires the topography to be measured.

Standard-compliant evaluation of the total deviation according to “ISO 1328-1:2013” or “DIN ISO 1328-1:2018”

For a precisely standardized evaluation of the total deviation according to “ISO 1328-1:2013” or “DIN ISO 1328-1:2018” – with modification using “spherical recesses” – the option to enter the nominal spherical values was missing under GINA spur gear. The necessary fields have been added and can be entered via the “Correction specification / Measurement paths profile” mask.

Selectability of Abbott curve display via GINA

Starting with this release, the Abbott curve output can be selected via the GINA interface. The corresponding checkbox for selection is available in the Parameters mask.

Transfer roughness values from new standard DIN EN ISO 21920 to GDE

The following characteristic values have been added with the new roughness standard DIN ISO 21920 and are exported to the GDE file:

  • Rt, Rdc, Rzx

Output MdR (two-role measure) in DFQ file

The MdR (two-role measurement) can be selected in the configuration for statistics (qs-STAT) and written to the DFQ file.

Selection of “Eccentricity-corrected division values” in the interface

If “Compensation of gear runout” was selected in the tolerance mask for division, the eccentricity-corrected characteristic values were automatically output. This behavior has been changed as follows: To output the eccentricity-corrected characteristic values, the "Eccentricity-corrected Division Values“ must now be selected in the ”Options Storage" menu. This allows the operator to independently decide whether the additional characteristic values should be output.

Csv- & qs-Stat-Export for Fr F, Exz F, Fr K, Exz K

The values Fr F, Exz F, Fr K, Exz K can now be activated in the “Characteristic Definition” GUI for qs-STAT and EXCEL and are exported to both the CSV and qs-STAT files.

Optimization in STI measurement protocol

For multi-page printouts, the mean angle errors and variance per measurement sheet were determined. Only the last measurement sheet contained the values for all teeth. These values now appear as the final result on the last measurement sheet. In addition, there was an error in the output of the flank line interlocking for an N-tooth measurement. Optimizations were made in the following areas:

  • Mean flank angle deviation fHßm
  • Mean profile angle deviation fHαm
  • Flank angle error variance Var
  • Profile angle error variance Var
  • Flank line interlocking FV

GDA with GDE Interface

GDA analysis is now also possible with the GDE interface. This encrypts the coordinate data and writes it to the GDE files. These can then be used for waviness analysis.

Release of new roughness measurement sheet

The redesigned roughness measurement sheet has been available for some time now. It is available in two different versions: with or without Abbott curve display.

With this release, the new roughness measurement sheet is defined as the standard for roughness customers. Extensions and adjustments will be made on the new measurement sheet.

Please note: With the update, the flag for the new roughness measurement sheet is automatically implemented (setup.ini: rau_mss=3, provided it was previously set to 0).

Test phase for new measuring sheet pitch

With this release, the redesigned pitch measurement sheet is also available for selected customers.

Bugfix: Uncalibrated RH probes could be selected in STI

Previously, uncalibrated roughness probes could be selected in the spur gear. This is now prevented.
