BLUM Roughness measuring systems

Surface roughness gauges by BLUM can be used for the most varied measurement and monitoring tasks in CNC machining centres.

Position measurement

Fast determination of current workpiece position (workpiece zero point) in one axis before the roughness measurement, the machining or after resetting.

Roughness Measurement

Automated roughness measurements on machine tools in mass production. Indirect detection of tool wear and direct inspection for machining errors on workpieces or functional surfaces.

Modular System

The measuring system’s modular design allows for customer-specific adaptation to special measurement tasks. BLUM offers a comprehensive range of accessories such as extensions and elbows for this purpose.

Workpiece inspection

Inspection of the manufactured workpieces for machining errors and adherence to manufacturing tolerance by means of control measurements prior to clamping.

Coolant load

Reliable and fast roughness measurements also in coolant.

Mass Production

Perfectly suitable for mass production under the harshest conditions.

Roughness Gauge TC63-RG Single
  • Analogue measuring range:180 µm
  • Resolution | converter resolution:34.8 mV/μm | 0.067 μm/Digit
  • Sampling rate internal | external:1 kHz | 1 ms/value or status

Additional information can be found in the relevant brochure and in the operating manual.

Receiver Systems

For wireless data transmission between BLUM measuring systems and the machine tool, compact receiver systems incorporating the latest transmission technologies are used.

Software RG 2.0
  • Automatic calculation of roughness parameters Ra, Rz, Rq, Rt, Rmax and Wt
  • Flexible definition of warning and tolerance limits per measuring distance
  • Alarm release when exceeding the warning and tolerance limits
  • Immediate processing and editing of the measuring results of surfaces
  • Providing the tracked data in a log file
Touch Panel TP48-21

Modern touch panel for retrofitting. It is used if visualisation and operation is not possible on the machine control.

Applications

BLUM surface roughness gauges for automatic, machine-integrated inspections and measurements of workpiece surfaces. Surfaces can be measured reliably and with high precision using the TC63-RG Single surface roughness gauge even under the influence of coolant.
