workpiece. The TC62 is the compact little brother to Blum’s TC60 probe that is mainly used in standard and large-scale machines and was introduced at 2008 EMO. “The TC62 with its compact size of just 40 mm in diameter is perfectly appli- cable for smaller machining centers and excels through extremely fast and robust data transmission,” said Kulikowski. Instead of the usually applied
channel-hopping method or channel assignment, this probe is transmitting the data collected to the receiver via the BRC technology. The advantage of this technology is based on each single bit of the radio signal running across the entire frequency bandwidth, thus making trans- mission particularly resistant to interfer- ence. The data is transmitted to the radio
“Design of the touch probe allows considerably higher mea-
suring speeds than comparable systems. Other systems mea- sure at a speed of 16–20 ipm [400–500 mm/min] and often require two touchs, while the TC62 can measure with up to 80
A chuck is a chuck is a chuck? Wrong. All chucks are not created equal.
proofline™ sealed chucks from SMW Autoblok allow for longer intervals between maintenance. While some chucks require that you stop production for 15 minutes for daily lubrication, proofline™ sealed chucks go strong for up to six months.
Compact high-speed TC62 multidirectional touch probe from Blum LMT achieves speed, precision and shop-fl oor versatility, along with operator convenience, using innovative BRC radio technology.
receiver RC66 quickly and securely. Mul- tiple measuring systems, for example a tool setting probe and a touch probe, can be used, without problems with the BRC technology. Up to six measuring systems can be controlled with one receiver.
