1. A new generation of laser system for on-machine tool monitoring

Blum laser tool monitoring NT

In the early stages of laser measurement technology, coolant and cutting that blocked the signal were the main obstacles to optical measurement in the processing area. If too much coolant drips, the measurement time will be extended. The measurement method adopted by Blum is to allow the tool to temporarily enter a position that blocks the laser and perform measurement by "moving away from the laser." This eliminates the interference of coolant and enables faster and more reliable tool adjustment. In addition, the trigger signal is managed by the microprocessor in the system, which has the advantage of enabling single tool monitoring to check cutting edge defects, etc. even in high-speed rotating areas.

2. New probe system for integrated machining centers The newly developed omnidirectional probe TC50

of the Blum high-precision probe TC series

uses a new wear-free optical measurement system, which can obtain satisfactory measurement results in any direction of 360 degrees. The non-contact trigger principle that blocks the internal light by pressing the stylus has long been proven its accuracy in various applications of Blum. It can achieve higher-speed measurement than conventional models, and with its durable design, excellent battery life and reliability, it is most suitable for machining centers that must identify the position and shape of workpieces with a repeatability of less than 1µm. Even at a measuring speed of 5m/min, a repeatability of less than 1µm can be achieved. With a durability of a maximum acceleration of 5G, it is possible to touch more than 100,000 times and can communicate with the infrared receiver IC55.

The latest Blum product, Form Control, enables tool measurement directly on the machine tool.

3. The best aperture

measuring device for integrated machining centers and mass production lines

. The wireless BG40, which can communicate infrared data with the NC, is stored in the tool holder like other tools, and the measuring head supports workpiece diameters from 3mm to 200mm. The optical measuring system without internal wear can achieve high-precision measurement with a repeatability of 1µm. It is designed for mass production of engine cylinder blocks, compressor housings, bearing journals, and parts with the same diameter, with a maximum measurement range of ±200µm. As a key element of engineering management and quality management, it is not only indispensable for unmanned operation, but also eliminates the need for expensive post-measurement points, and can prevent expensive reprocessing and defective production. The newly developed interface IF46 enables two-way communication between the NC and the aperture measuring device, and also has the function of transmitting correction values ​​and providing SPC data.
