Blum tool measurement probes are used for quick and automatic setting of touch tools and tool breakage detection. Specially designed for the harsh conditions of machine tools, probe systems are an effective solution to improve the precision of your parts and the productivity of your manufacturing lines.
Blum tool measurement probes feature state-of-the-art measuring mechanism technology that offers wear-free optoelectronic signal generation. The robust design enables maximum probing speeds with supreme precision. Fast and reliable data transfer is ensured by infrared, BRC radio technology, or cable connection.
The systems are characterized by their extreme durability, precision, and economy. Thanks to the state-of-the-art transmission technology, they represent the ideal complement to Blum tactile workpiece probes.
- Automatic calculation and correction of tool compensation
- Automatic breake control between machining cycles
- There is subsequent damage due to the removal of the tool
- Reliable also under refrigerant
- Low maintenance
Series of probes for tool measurement available by Blum: (click on the model of each measurement probe, to see its respective catalog of specifications)
MULTIDIRECTIONAL
Non-lobing touch characteristics with constant deflection forces (ZX-Speed / IR / RC) / With face-gear High precision even in off-centre probing operations. Ideal for turning machines. (TC53/63, TC54/64, TC76)
BALL BEARING MOUNTER LINEAR GUIDE
The functional principle permits low measuring forces, and prevents lateral forces acting on the tool. (Z-Pico, Z-Nano/IR/RC)
WIRELESS DATA TRANSFER
Either infrared or BRC radio transmission technology / Fast and secure even without line-of-sight / Integrated contaminant protection
