Inspect every part to reduce the chance of failure
Every bad bearing that leaves your plant represents a corporate liability. Having a cost effective roller bearing inspection solution that integrates into your production processes greatly reduces the exposure that comes from shipping a bad part.
Inspect in-line, in real-time
In-line, real-time inspection gives you the opportunity to catch defects as they happen, and allows flawed bearing components to be rejected before additional value is added. Unlike off-line batch testing, in-line inspection also allows you to quickly find and correct process problems, reducing lost revenue due to scrap.
Roller bearing flaw detection
Criterion NDT delivers in-line eddy current inspection solutions capable of finding flaws in cylindrical and tapered roller bearings. Figure 1 shows an eddy current probe used to inspect a tapered roller bearing. Our eddy current instruments integrate with production sorting mechanisms to reject bad bearings in real-time.

Roller bearing heat treat and material structure verification
Criterion NDT delivers in-line eddy current test systems that can identify and sort out roller bearings with improper heat treatment. The inspection typically takes less than a second and is easily integrated into a production line. The systems are typically capable of sorting parts that are just a few Rockwell readings apart. Figure 2 shows a heat treat testing coil and tapered roller bearing. Roller bearing heat treat verification video.
