Bearing Inspection
Challenge
Roller bearings are used extensively in automobile manufacturing. If a defective bearing is used,for example, if one or more of the rollers are missing, it increases the chance that a part will wear out prematurely.
Solution
The solution involves using an iVu Series sensor configured for a Match inspection to ensure that all the bearings are present for each component that includes the bearing assembly. If the sensor detects one or more missing bearings, it sends a fail output to the line, and the component is rejected.
