Bearings Inspection
Quality solutions for bearings inspection
Bearings, from large to small diameter, require precise metrology because every single bearing component is critical for its long lifetime, low maintenance, reduced noise and low vibration. To ensure the reliability and durability of these critical components, accurate CMM measurements are needed.

The challenge
High accuracy in all parts and dimensions is essential in the manufacturing process. This includes ensuring flatness and adherence to strict geometric specifications. Special attention must be paid to high-precision areas such as ring and roller raceways. Quality includes profile measurement and analysis, as well as precise cage and window dimensions. Focusing on these key factors ensures that products meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
