BLUM workpiece touch probe
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.
ContourScan
Analogue scan of workpiece contours in machine tools with a resolution of 1000 measuring values per second. Deviations from the target contour are detected in the machining clamping process.
Modular System
The modular design of the measuring system enables customer-specific adaptation for special measuring 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.
Adaptive Machining
Determination of parameters for adaptive machining and process control between and after machining steps.
Coolant Load
Reliable and fast measurements in coolant thanks to modern measuring mechanism with enhanced measuring force.
Mass Production
Ideally suited to mass production under the harshest conditions.
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-dependant thermal behaviour of machining centres.
Additional product features
- Max. probing speed: 2 m/min
- Repeatability: 0.4 µm 2σ
- Protection class: IP68
- Approach directions: ±X, ±Y, -Z
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.
Applications
The measuring systems with integrated DIGILOG technology by BLUM combine the advantages of a digital touch probe with those of an analogue scanning touch probe in a single device. Workpieces can be checked very quickly using the analogue touch probe for machining errors and contour deviations.
