Tool Setting Probes

BLUM tool measuring probes for CNC machining centres

BLUM offers numerous probe systems for fast and automatic tactile tool setting and tool breakage detection in CNC machining centres.

The measuring cycles are user-friendly subroutines of the machine control. They can be used on milling machines for the following measuring tasks.

  • Calibrating the probe
  • Tool length measurement
  • Tool Radius Measurement
  • Tool wear monitoring
  • Tool breakage detection

 

The measuring cycles are available for many conventional controls. Your local BLUM-representative will gladly inform you about the range of features for your control.

Wear-free and optoelectronic signal generation

  • The trigger signal is generated via shading of a miniature light barrier
  • Enables higher measuring speeds and accuracy than with conventional probes
  • Reliable tool setting under the most adverse conditions
  • Wear-free with long-term stability

High-precision and modern measuring mechanism

  • Precise, non-lobing switching behaviour
  • Constant deflection forces
  • High-quality latest-generation BLUM measuring mechanism
  • No disadvantageous 3-leg principle
  • No highly sensitive switching elements
