BLUM Workpiece Touch Probes
Touch probes 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) prior to machining or after resetting using digital (switching) measurement.
Measurement of standard features
Digital (switching) measurement of distances, single points, angles, inside and outside diameters, inside and outside widths on a manufactured workpiece.
Contour measurement
The touch probes can be used for contour measurements using the FormControl measurement software.
Workpiece inspection
Inspection of the manufactured workpieces for machining errors and adherence to manufacturing tolerance by means of control measurements prior to clamping.
Adaptive machining
Determination of parameters for adaptive machining and process control between and after the machining steps.
Coolant load
Reliable and fast measurements in the coolant thanks to modern measuring mechanism with increased measuring force.
Single & mass production
Perfectly suitable for mass production under the harshest conditions thanks to robust design and protection class IP68.
Wear compensation
Tool wear is compensated for by taking measurements on the workpiece and comparing these with the nominal dimension.
Temperature compensation
Compensation of the temperature-dependent thermal behaviour of machining centres.
Quickstart measuring cycles for BLUM workpiece touch probes are user-friendly subroutines of the machine control. They can be used for workpiece referencing as well as for workpiece measurement during the production process.
The following measuring cycle packages are available for the TC52 | TC62 touch probes:
- Quickstart
- Quickstart Basic
- Quickstart T
- 3D Vector Probing
With the help of the FormControl measuring software and the touch probe TC52 LF, we can achieve our high accuracies without difficulty
