Bearings Inspection Machine

Overview

Ensure flawless bearing quality with Openex's AI-powered Bearings Inspection Machine — a fully automated, high-speed vision inspection system designed to detect dimensional defects, surface damage, geometric abnormalities, and functional anomalies in a wide range of bearing types. Engineered for inline or offline use, it ensures 100% inspection at production speed without manual intervention.
Whether you're producing miniature ball bearings, roller bearings, needle bearings, or custom bearing components, Openex helps manufacturers detect critical defects early, ensure traceability, and reduce rework and warranty costs.

Key Features

• High-Speed Inline Inspection - Up to 600-1,200 parts/min depending on part size and complexity
• AI-Powered Defect Detection - Advanced deep learning algorithms recognize known and unknown defects
• Multi-Angle Vision System - 360° imaging with up to 6 industrial-grade cameras and precision lighting
• Dimensional & Surface Inspection - Measure key parameters and detect flaws such as cracks, chips, dents, scratches
• Full Traceability - Each part is logged with inspection data and can be traced through serial or batch numbers
• Automatic Sorting System - Fast pneumatic or robotic ejection of NG (defective) products

Inspection Capabilities

The Bearings Inspection Machine is capable of inspecting the following attributes and defects:

• ✅ Dimensional Inspection
• - Outer Diameter (OD)
• - Inner Diameter (ID)
• - Width / Height
• - Chamfer angle
• - Roundness / Concentricity
• ✅ Surface Defect Detection
• - Cracks & chips on raceways and side faces
• - Scratches & dents on inner/outer rings
• - Stains, oil contamination, burn marks
• - Burrs or uncut flash
• ✅ Geometrical Feature Check
• - Ball / roller count verification
• - Cage alignment & deformation detection
• - Groove profile conformity
• - Seal or shield presence & positioning
• ✅ Material Color & Symbol Check (Optional)
• - Laser-etched logo or code presence
• - Surface finish consistency
• - Oxidation or discoloration detection

System Composition

Each inspection system is custom-configured based on part specifications and throughput goals:

• Feeding System: vibratory bowl feeder, conveyor, or robotic feeding
