Wear-free, optoelectronic signal generation
- The trigger signal is generated via shading of a miniature light barrier
- Enables much higher measuring speeds and accuracy than with conventional probes
- Wear-free with long-term stability
Patented and face-geared shark360 measuring mechanism
- Face-geared measuring mechanism
- Maximum measuring accuracy even with off-centre probing
- Enables pulling and torsion-exposed measurements
- Constant deflection forces
- No preferred direction
- Enables the use of extensions and elbows
Reliable and proven transmission technology
- TC53: Infrared Transmission
- TC63: BRC Radio Technology
- DUO-Mode: Sequential use of 2 infrared measuring systems with one receiver
- Sequential use of up to 6 radio measuring systems with one receiver
- TWIN mode: Simultaneous use of 2 radio measuring systems on one machine
- Very long battery life
BLUM 3D CNC Touch Probes
3D CNC 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.
Pulling Measurement
Fast measurement of inside widths, outside widths and recesses using pulling/pushing measurements in Z+/Z- with the help of cranked styli.
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.
Torsion Measurements
Unlike conventional touch probes, the unique shark360 measuring mechanism also allows for measurements in which a torsional force acts on the measuring mechanism.
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.
Single & Mass Production
Ideally suited to mass production under the harshest conditions thanks to its rugged 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-dependant thermal behaviour of machining centres.
