Laser Control Series — Non-Contact Tool Setting and Tool Monitoring
Non-Contact Tool Setting and Tool Monitoring
Laser Control Series
Tool setting and monitoring at nominal spindle speed. Measurement of all cutting materials and tools in the real clamping system. High quality laser diodes and optics. Focused laser beam for highest precision and measurement of smallest tool diameters. 100% reliability through Blum protection system.
LC50-DIGILOG
Best for: machining centres requiring non-contact tool measurement with full DIGILOG scanning. Laser measuring system for CNC machine tools that is unique worldwide for non-contact tool measurement and tool monitoring under the harshest conditions. Unbeatably fast, precise and reliable thanks to the latest DIGILOG technology, premium laser optics and perfected BLUM protection system.
- Highly dynamic measurement of all tool parameters
- Non-contact measurement of all tool types, shapes, and cutting materials
- Recognition of changes in geometry such as tool cutting edge wear
- Consistently good part precision through process-integrated temperature compensation
- Reliable compensation for spindle drift and runout errors
- Run-out monitoring detects bad tool holders and soiling
- Low-manpower, automated operation
LC52-DIGILOG
Best for: turn-mill centres needing both laser and touch probe measurement in one unit. Laser measuring system with integrated 3D touch probe for setting and monitoring the entire tool spectrum of combined turning/milling machines.
- Combined laser and touch probe measurement in a single unit
- Full tool spectrum coverage for turning and milling operations
- DIGILOG analog signal processing for high-resolution measurement data
LC53-DIGILOG
Best for: large machining centres or gantry machines where transmitter and receiver must be mounted separately. Laser light barrier with separate transmitting and receiving unit for non-contact tool measurement and fast tool breakage detection under the harshest conditions.
- Separate transmitter and receiver for flexible machine integration
- Fast tool breakage detection minimizes scrap and downtime
- Designed for extreme coolant, chip, and contamination environments
MICRO COMPACT NT
Best for: machines with limited installation space or extreme coolant and chip exposure. Laser measuring system for CNC machining centers for non-contact tool measurement and tool monitoring under the harshest conditions. Unbeatable precision and reliability due to high-quality laser optic, intelligent NT Electronics and unique BLUM protection system.
- Ultra-compact design for machines with limited installation space
- NT Electronics deliver intelligent signal processing and diagnostics
- BLUM protection system ensures reliable operation in harsh environments
Unique DIGILOG Technology
- Up to 60% less measuring and checking time
- Thousands of measuring values of all tool cutting edges per second
- Dynamic adjustment of the measuring speed according to the nominal tool rpm
- Automatic filtering of dirt and cooling lubricant residue on tool
- DIGILOG calibration with integrated run-out monitoring
