S3 Bearing Ball Inspection System logo

The S3 uses UT technology to inspect steel bearing balls ranging in size from 50mm to 70mm.

Eclipse Scientific, known for developing solutions to challenging problems, has engineered a full volume inspection of steel bearing balls ranging in size from 50mm to 70mm. Longitudinal and transverse ultrasonic inspections are performed simultaneously for increased flaw detection.
