Abstract
This paper describes the design and engineering of an automatic inspection system for detecting minute flaws during the manufacture of precision roller bearings used in aircraft. The various types of flaws to be detected are scratches, pits, voids in seams, rust, and other surface flaws whose sizes are usually in the order of 25 μm. Visual inspection is impractical and subject to human errors.
