Blum-Novotest, a leading supplier of innovative and high-quality measuring and testing technology, is presenting LC53-DIGILOG, its new laser measuring system for tool measurement and monitoring in CNC machining centres, at the Control (hall 3, booth 3410) and Moulding Expo (hall 1, booth 1|31) trade fairs. With this system, the measurement technology manufacturer has expanded its product spectrum to include an optical system with a separate transmitter and receiver unit and forward-looking DIGILOG technology.

Winfried Weiland, Head of Marketing at Blum-Novotest GmbH, explains: “BLUM revolutionized laser measuring technology for CNC machine tools in 2017 with the LC50-DIGILOG. Not long thereafter, BLUM came out with the LC52-DIGILOG, another support system specifically developed for the combined turning/milling machines on the market. Typically, these systems are mounted either on or next to the machine table to keep the travel distances and the overall measurement times as short as possible. If it is not possible to mount a support system in this area of a machine for structural or application-specific reasons, a solution is called for in which the laser transmitter and receiver can be mounted separately, for example on a machine wall. The new LC53-DIGILOG fulfils exactly this requirement, preventing interfering contours in the working area and enabling its flexible integration in different machine types.”
