Fast, Precise Measuring Systems



Portable Spindle Control

LC50 DIGILOG measuring system

Blum-Novotest will be highlighting the LC50-DIGILOG and Portable Spindle Control (PSC) systems at the SOUTHTEC 2023 show at booth 1828 with Newmann M2M.

"The LC50-DIGILOG laser delivers cutting-edge science with incorporated technology that is upgradable over time," said a company spokesperson. "The high-end lasers provide the most accurate tool measurement and repeatability, even in the harshest work environments. The PSC system enables operators to use one machine to monitor multiple tools to economically measure a CNC machine's spindle health. The DIGILOG touch probe systems enable high scanning and probing speeds in the hard-use, high-output molding environments. Complex contours can be monitored in series at up to 2 m/min.

LC50 DIGILOG System

The new LC50-DIGILOG generates many thousands of measurement values per second. The compact BLUM smartDock serves as the basis for all new support systems and contains all the necessary pneumatic valves in addition to the electrical, mechanical and pneumatic connections between the machine and laser measuring system.

"LC50-DIGILOG provides impressive advantages for users," said the spokesperson. "Measurement and testing times have been shortened by up to 60%. In addition, the optics in the system were further improved, so that the new generation achieves near-perfect accuracy due to an optimized beam shape and a 30% smaller focus diameter."

Together with LC-VISION software and technology cycles such as 3D ToolControl and SpindleControl, LC50-DIGILOG enables continuous DIGILOG-based contour measurement of tools, on-screen visualization and the ability to monitor spindle health.

Portable Spindle Control

The new Blum PSC system allow companies to inspect the spindles for all machines in a shop with one portable laser system. The PSC is a compact, easy to use system, allowing users to monitor an unlimited number of motor spindles in a facility. Measure axial and radial run-out, run a vibration analysis or check the stability of a machine spindle directly on the computer with this portable device and SpindleControl software by Blum-Novotest.

TC63, TC64 and TC76 DIGILOG Touch Probes

Blum-Novotest, Inc. DIGILOG TC63/64/76 probes provide high-precision measurements and fast analogue scans. The DIGILOG probes feature BRC radio technology and are particularly suited for moldmaking.

By analog scanning the workpiece surface, machining errors are quickly and reliably detected. DIGILOG probes use shark360 technology, a high-precision, face-geared measuring mechanism that delivers defined deflection direction and constant deflection forces for maximum accuracy. The TC63 DIGILOG probe is the modular version that enables extensions and elbows attachments. The TC76 DIGILOG is a hard-wired alternative.
