Method for producing bearing components

A method for producing bearing components comprising:

• providing a first bearing component and a second bearing component;
• providing a first production line comprising a first grinding machine, a first honing machine, a first measuring unit, and a first conveyor unit;
• providing a second production line comprising a second grinding machine, a second honing machine, and a second conveyor unit;
• transporting the first bearing component with the first conveyor unit;
• grinding the first bearing component with the first grinding machine and honing the first bearing component with the first honing machine;
• measuring a first dimension of the first bearing component with the first measuring unit;
• transporting the second bearing component with the second conveyor unit;
• grinding the second bearing component with the second grinding machine and honing the second bearing component with the second honing machine;
• and,
• combining the first bearing component and the second bearing component to form a roller bearing or a slide bearing, wherein the first production line and the second production line are operated in a synchronized manner such that the second grinding machine or the second honing machine is operated under closed-loop control using the first dimension.

A production system comprising:

• a first production line for producing a first bearing component, the first production line comprising a first conveyor unit, a first grinding machine, a first honing machine, and a first measuring unit for measuring a first dimension of the first bearing component;
• a second production line for producing a second bearing unit, the second production line comprising a second conveyor unit, a grinding machine and a honing machine;
• and,
• an assembly unit arranged downstream of the production lines for assembling the first bearing component and the second bearing component into a roller bearing or a slide bearing;
• and,
• a first data transmission line, wherein the first production line and the second production line are connected by the first data transmission line and are operable in a synchronized manner such that the first dimension is transmittable to the second production line by the first data transmission line for closed-loop control of the second grinding machine or the second honing machine.
