Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu121.html Blum NovoTest reported that exhibiting at the recent UK MACH 2008 event brought 'remarkable' enquiry levels, including from users of multi-function, multi-axis machine tools. Fri, 09 May 2008 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu120.html Laser-based, non-contact, tool setting system measures rotating tools as well as the mechanically measuring non-rotating tools in five approach directions. Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu119.html A touch probe for turning centres and round work applications houses a measuring mechanism with face gear that significantly increases measurement accuracy when performing off-centre probing. Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu118.html A non-contact tool setting system can set tool length and radius for milling and turning tools to meet the growing trend towards the use of mill-turn turning centres. Mon, 05 Nov 2007 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu117.html German metrology manufacturer will show a non-contact tool setting system, touch probes, tool length setting probe and software for in-process workpiece measurement at a UK GTMA event. Mon, 20 Aug 2007 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu116.html For users of CNC mill-turn centres, one non-contact tool setting system is now available for setting the tool length and radius for milling and turning tools. Mon, 23 Jul 2007 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu115.html Specially-mounted Blum Novotest LaserControl NT Micro Compact System on a Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC-controlled, Hermle C40U five-axis machining centre support Martin Gopp's Kawasaki motorcycle team. Mon, 09 Apr 2007 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu114.html Laser tool monitoring system has the laser transmitter and receiver modules sited about 1m apart, and the beam is pre-focused to whatever part of the machining envelope the user desires. Wed, 12 Jul 2006 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu113.html Radical touch probe offers a viable alternative to traditional multi-directional probe and provides a precise, fast, reliable, compact and therefore productive measuring system. Wed, 03 Mar 2004 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu112.html Measuring position, cylindricality and concentricity quickly throughout the bore, bore gauge can be used on all machining centres and transfer lines. Thu, 11 Sep 2003 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu111.html The least expensive and least disruptive way to improve productivity is by using an in-process measurement system to reduce scrap, as this Workshop event will demonstrate. Wed, 15 Jan 2003 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu110.html In a direct response to customers' demand for a reliable and cost effective means of measuring the water jet prior to cutting a tool management system has been adapted to do the job effectively. Wed, 20 Nov 2002 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu109.html Companies are always seeking more bangs for the buck, but there are few easier and more economic ways to achieve this that with the addition of simple non-contact measurement systems. Wed, 30 Oct 2002 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu108.html Setting up and measurement of a part are an essential part of production, but are non-productive idle time, and until now could not be completed at the cutting speed of the machine. Thu, 04 Apr 2002 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu107.html A range of laser measuring and tool management systems has been created to increase productivity and minimise scrap associated with ineffective tool management and inaccurate dimensional control contr Wed, 27 Feb 2002 08:00:00 UT Blum Novotest http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/blu/blu106.html
