Blum-Novotest presents several product highlights for the automation of machining processes. Among them is the LC54-Digilog, a compact laser measuring system in the LaserControl Digilog series. The system is designed for tool measurement and monitoring in micromachining.
The demands on precision in micromachining are constantly growing — especially when it comes to measuring extremely small tools. The LC54-Digilog is designed to meet these challenges, offering the full range of functions of the LaserControl Digilog laser measuring systems for tools in the 5 µm to 16 mm diameter range.
The LC54-Digilog can generate several thousand measured values per second, with dynamic adjustment of the measurement speed to the nominal speed of the tool. Each cutting edge is measured individually, enabling precise comparison between the shortest and longest cutting edges. This results in a repeat accuracy of 0.2 µm, and concentricity errors caused by contamination on the toolholder, for example, are automatically detected.
