Sensor-based multi-purpose gauges for determining process data parallel to production

• Up to 8 sensors integrated in the clamping device
• Determination of workpiece temperature, presence of the workpiece, clamping pressure or tool breakage
• Measurement of workpieces with strongly fluctuating input temperature
• Determination of the workpiece temperature before and between machining steps
• No rejects due to temperature fluctuations or poorly clamped workpieces

• Quality-controlled process chain
• Compensation of temperature changes, e.g. due to dry machining, ambient temperatures
• Compensation values are calculated by the NC control system
• Higher part accuracy through scaled machining (scale function)

• Reliable data transmission thanks to BRC radio technology
• Sequential control of up to 16 wireless measuring systems with one receiver
• Simultaneous use of 2 radio measuring systems on one machine (TWIN mode)

• 4 sensors can be connected
• Determination of workpiece temperature, presence of the workpiece, clamping pressure or tool breakage
• Multiple connection options and configuration of customised and specific sensors
• Robust quartz glass and metal components
• Angled M8 connector for small installation volume
• Compact, cubic design in the size range of a cheque card
• Software solutions available for Siemens and Fanuc controllers

• Operation on production lines, management by master computer
• Each of the machines can identify the MG system via the pallet and establish communication

• Reliable data transmission thanks to BRC radio technology
• Sequential control of up to 16 wireless measuring systems with one receiver
• Simultaneous use of 2 radio measuring systems on one machine (TWIN mode)

1 clamping device and 1 machine

• Process monitoring in automated operation
• Position control for flexible processing of variable workpieces
• Pressure and system monitoring for reliable processes

2 - 16 clamping devices and 1 machine

• Up to 16 MG systems (mounted on clamping devices) can be connected to the machine via an RC66

X clamping devices and Y machines

• Operation on production lines
• Management by master computer
• The machine can identify the MG system via the pallet and establish communication

Compact receiver systems with the latest transmission technologies are used for wireless data transmission between BLUM measuring systems and the machine tool.
