Automated measurements reduce inspection time and human error
A safe landing – with measuring technology from BLUM.
Roundtracer Flash
Based on side-by-side two-dimensional image architecture, this allows images acquired by different sensors to be perfectly combined to generate a single workpiece image containing no defects or gaps at stitching edges.Measures parts up to 300mm in length without any vertical movement of the sensors or part.
Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy Distribution Boxes
The AP series distribution boxes feature gaskets that ensure the waterproof protection rating (IP66/IP67) while the new galvanized steel captive cross-headed screws ensure easier installation.
Glovius 6.0
Glovius supports all popular CAD formats including CATIA, NX, Creo and Pro/ENGINEER, SOLIDWORKS, SolidEdge, Autodesk Inventor, and STEP, IGES, and JT. Glovius enables users to measure, section, analyze, compare, and export 3D CAD data to STEP, IGES, and other formats.
Choosing the right tool for machining titanium
Machining titanium cost-effectively requires special attention to the distinctive features of this material – particularly for choosing the right tools.
BSWS-M Gripper Fingers
The toolless jaw quick-change system reduces set-up times to a minimum, therefore increasing the productivity and flexibility of the entire system. Dowel pins and a corresponding bore hole are available options, serving as additional mounting aides. For example, in the case of asymmetric finger pairs, this ensures that they can only be mounted in the correct position.
C7015 Industrial PC
The C7015 ultra-compact IPC, which measures just 85 x 167 x 43 mm, is cost effective and universally suited to high-performance automation, visualization and communication purposes. Its applications range from classic machine control to the decentralized edge computing utilized in advanced Industrie 4.0 concepts.
Schneeberger Ball Screws (SBS)
The precise and hard ball contact surfaces enable optimum force transmission with extremely high positioning and repeat accuracy. In addition, Schneeberger ball screws stand out due to their quiet, torque-constant running behavior.
No Drip Siphon Fed Spray Nozzle
The stainless-steel construction of these atomizing nozzles adds to their durability and corrosion resistance. EXAIR air atomizing spray nozzles are available with 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 NPT connections and in a variety of spray patterns to meet your needs.
Go and No-Go Ring Gages
Go and No-Go Ring Gages are manufactured with hardened tool steel for exceptional durability and feature a fully knurled circumference for maximum gripping ability and safety. No-Go gages are clearly marked with a red ring. UNC and UNF gages have a 2A tolerance.
22c CNC Collet Chucks
CNC collet chucks and collets are an alternative to pneumatic or hydraulic workholding devices and are well-suited for high production runs. Standard shapes such as round, square and hexes can be held accurately and quickly compared to a three or four jaw chuck.
Carabiner and Lanyard Kit
The carabiner and lanyard kit removes the potential of dropping items in areas with an increased safety risk, or above environments where retrieval would be time consuming, difficult or impossible. As a result, the system makes working safer, faster and removes the danger and cost associated with losing tools and equipment.
