Our customer produces over 20,000 ball bearings daily, which were inspected both by a classic inspection system and, in some cases, by human inspectors. The classic inspection system often mistook color differences for real defects. This resulted in an excessively high pseudo scrap rate, which had to be checked manually at a high cost. To massively reduce the pseudo scrap rate, the Maddox AI inspection system combines existing camera hardware with the Maddox AI software. Classic defect types include damages such as impact points, incorrectly mounted components or scratches.
All products are inspected 100% automatically according to a precise defect definition. This made it possible to reduce pseudo scrap by more than 90%, eliminating the need for manual rechecking.
Time saving for recalibrations
Less pseudo scrap
Inspection speed
Maddox AI automates the visual final inspection of pivot pins with high reliability and precision—even for complex surface geometries, demanding handling requirements, and zone-specific defect catalogs.
Automotive
With Maddox AI, the inspection of bearing cages for industrial, railway, and maritime applications is now fully automated. Surface defects such as burrs, roughness, or material flaws are reliably detected—without manual inspectors and with consistently high inspection quality.
Industry & Infrastructure
Maddox AI enables the reliable automation of surface inspections for metal objects, accurately detecting defects such as scratches and dents.
