The Development of an Automated Roller Inspection System Using Noncontacting Sensors.

Abstract

An automated computer oriented inspection for measuring the dimensional characteristics of high DN bearing rollers has been designed. The system is based on the use of non-contacting miniature capacitance probes having a sensitivity of 1000 volts/in. and a line scan camera employing photo diodes combined with an enlarging lens system to provide a 40 x 10 to the -6 in./count sensitivity. The automated inspection system design is based on the results of a laboratory investigation of gaging techniques and the performance evaluation of non automated breadboard versions of the system.
