Claims20
A method for producing bearing components by utilizing a production line, comprising:
- utilizing at least one grinding machine to grind each bearing component;
- utilizing at least one honing machine to hone each of the bearing components;
- utilizing at least one cleaning unit to clean each of the bearing components;
- and
- utilizing at least one transport unit to transport each of the bearing components along the production line,
- wherein each bearing component is transported throughout the production line in a lying position.
A production line for producing bearing components comprising:
- at least one grinding machine;
- at least one honing machine;
- at least one cleaning unit;
- and
- at least one transport unit, wherein each bearing components can be transported along the production line using a transport unit, and can thereby be brought to the at least one grinding machine, to the at least one honing machine, and to the at least one cleaning unit, wherein
- the at least one grinding machine is a vertical grinding machine, and that the production line is configured to allow the bearing components to travel on a horizontal plane.
A method for producing one or more bearing components along a production line, comprising:
- honing the one or more bearing components along the production line;
- cleaning the one or more bearing components along the production line;
- grinding the one or more bearing components along the production line;
- transporting the one or more bearing components along the production line utilizing one or more transport units.
