Smooth running assured with error-free laser marking on bearings

Andy Toms, director at TLM Laser, FOBA Laser’s UK and Ireland distributor, explains: “Small defects in a ball bearing are often difficult to detect. This technology takes care of roller inspection, checking for detects, missing or inverted rollers and rejects items with bad or marked rollers.

"FOBA’s camera-based marking technology offers a cost effective solution that integrates part detection, marking and validation of the marked characters in a single, safe process.” 

The camera within the marking head, enables timely error detection and prevents false marking. The process is said to be faster as there is no need to relocate the part between separate inspection and marking stations.
