Grinder-Burn Detection
Reveal heat damage on ground surfaces that undermines fatigue life.
The inspection problem
Grinder burn locally over-tempers or re-hardens ground surfaces — cutting fatigue life without changing visible geometry or hardness at first glance.
Why it matters
Bearings, gears and shafts with grinder burn fail in service, driving warranty and safety costs.
Which method fits your part?
Every method has a sweet spot and a limitation. Choose based on defect, geometry, throughput and access — not on habit.
Automated eddy-current grinder-burn detection
When it fits: Series production of bearings, gears and ground shafts.
Limitations: Requires part-specific setup and reference standards.
