BLUM LaserControl Series High-Precision Laser Tool Measurement and Monitoring for CNC Machining Centers

The BLUM LaserControl Series delivers advanced non-contact tool measurement, tool breakage detection, and wear monitoring directly within the machining environment. Utilizing high-precision laser technology, the system enables automatic measurement of tool length, diameter, cutting edge condition, and tool integrity without interrupting production flow.

Designed for high-speed machining applications, LaserControl provides real-time process verification, ensuring consistent machining accuracy, optimized tool utilization, and enhanced process reliability. Intelligent signal processing combined with premium laser optics enables precise measurement of rotating tools, micro-tools, and complex cutting geometries across a wide range of machining conditions.

Engineered for long-term stability in demanding manufacturing environments, LaserControl features robust protection against coolant, chips, and contamination, while advanced electronics ensure reliable operation and repeatable measurement results. The system supports automated tool compensation, reducing setup times, minimizing scrap, and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
