Vision System Inspects Bearing Assemblies

High-speed cameras met cycle time requirement of less than one second.
Roller bearings are a critical component of modern machinery. When the bearing is in operation, the cage must be able to withstand centrifugal force, shock and vibration, especially with complex loads rotating at high speeds. Considerable heat is generated due to the sliding friction between the cage and rolling body. The combination of force and heat can make the cage fail. It may even burn or break.
As a result, bearing manufacturers have strict requirements for materials, precision and production technologies.
