Key Features of the Custom Bearing Measurement System

1. Dual-Side Entry and Exit:

The machine features two openings—one on the right side for bearing entry and one on the left for exit. This design seamlessly integrates with the customer’s conveyor belt system, ensuring a smooth flow of bearings through the measurement process.

2. Precision Conveyor Integration:

Bearings are delivered to the machine via a conveyor belt. They line up and slide across industrial plastic surfaces to ensure minimal friction and wear.

3. Bearing Guiding Mechanism:

An overhead x-axis equipped with a y-axis arm and dual metal prongs precisely guides each bearing to the rotating platform. This mechanism ensures that each bearing is accurately positioned for measurement.

4. High-Accuracy Optical Measurement:

The core of the system’s measurement capability lies in the use of Keyence TM-X5120 optical measurement devices. Positioned on either side of the rotating platform, these devices provide accurate measurements up to three decimal places. As each bearing rotates, its dimensions are captured and displayed on a monitor, complete with a silhouette for visual reference.

5. Bearing Handling:

Post-measurement, the overhead arm transfers the bearing to the exit side, ready to be moved onto the customer’s conveyor belt. The system is designed to handle a wide range of bearing sizes, thanks to adjustable bumpers. These bumpers can be easily adjusted using mechanical wheels located at the front of the machine.

6. Custom Engineering Capabilities:

This project highlights the capabilities of our Special Projects Team, who engineered this measuring device from the ground up. It showcases our ability to adapt and innovate beyond our traditional laser marking and engraving systems.

Why This Machine Matters
