Anita Przyklenk obtained a BSc, MSc and Ph.D. in Physics from TU Braunschweig, Germany. Since 2018, she is a postdoctoral research fellow at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in the working group for gear and thread metrology. Her research topic is three-dimensional and holistic gear and screw thread evaluation methodology. She is the Secretary of the European Metrology Network for Advanced Manufacturing by the European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET).
As well as evaluation of profile, helix and pitch deviations, harmonic analysis of measured 2D trace data is routinely used by some industries to control gear noise and characterize machine tool performance. Evaluation of 3D surface measurement data has not been investigated.
