Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sensorized bearing ring includes the steps of: providing a metallic ring member, applying a sensor member on the metallic ring member, and applying a raceway layer onto the metallic ring member and the sensor member by use of a metallic wire Directed Energy Deposition (DED) operation and/or a metallic powder DED operation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a rolling or plain bearing ring includes providing a metallic ring member and applying a load carrying surface onto the metallic ring member by use of a steel wire Directed Energy Deposition (DED) operation and/or a steel metal powder DED operation. Preferably, the steel wire and/or the steel metal powder includes 0.10-0.50 wt % of carbon and 0.50-1.20 wt % of boron.

Abstract: A method is for treating at least one part of a metal component that is at least partly produced by additive manufacturing. The method comprises the steps of heating the at least one part of the metal component to form at least one softened region, and applying a mechanical load to the at least one softened region to plastically deform the metal in the at least one softened region.

Abstract: A machine for gluing a ring-shaped workpiece prior to machining operations. The machine includes a support assembly adapted to receive a removable support element having a top surface for receiving a workpiece; a glue dispenser system adapted to apply a predefined amount of glue on a face of at least one of the workpiece and the support element; a gripper assembly for placing a workpiece on the support element; an illuminating system adapted to illuminate the applied glue with ultraviolet light, this illuminating system including: at least one inner lighting element for radially illuminating an inner radial face of the ring-shaped workpiece with ultraviolet light, and at least one outer lighting element for radially illuminating an outer radial face of the ring-shaped workpiece with ultraviolet light.
