Using DIGILOG technology to 'track down the micron'
Now even the jewelry industry is using state-of-the-art milling technology involving up to five axes. Carl Benzinger GmbH is transferring experience gained from developing and producing such machines to innovative CNC machines for manufacturing high-precision small parts for industrial use. The company incorporates measuring components from Blum-Novotest on all such machines in order to allow for automated production.
The machines for industrial parts production have BLUM workpiece touch probes as well as BLUM tool setting probes and laser measuring systems. Whether it is a tool or a workpiece that is being measured, the touch probes used at Benzinger exceed expectations. The high probing speeds that are possible, meaning that measuring times can be kept very low. For workpiece zero-point referencing or the final component measurement, the TC52 touch probe can measure at speeds up to 2000 mm per minute without impairing the accuracy of the measurement. The tool breakage detection with the tactile systems can also be carried out at 2000 mm per minute.
